Can we get it here now

Technically yes but you'll need a proxy to mimmick a US IP address. It officially comes to Ireland in October.

Ah yeah knew that but was wondering seen as they were shilling like **** on summerslam last night saying they were available in loads of countries

I'm another who had a lot of issues watching Summerslam last night. Got close to unwatchable in a couple of matches. That's the first issues I've ever had with the Network. I'm on PS3.

Thankfully it was fine for me throughout (Xbox).

Ya I watched on laptop through Chrome and aside from 2 instances of a wee stutter it was a-ok.

Bloody hell just watching Summer slam now and my head is wrecked. The stream keeps going back a few seconds or speeding up and jumping for q few seconds.

This has been happening since day one. I have emailed their support once or twice about things but they just reply asking for me to ring them so that's a no-go. Wonder how folks elsewhere are getting on with the customer service.

Hey lads, I'm thinking of getting the network, I know its not officially out here yet but I could use Hola Unblocker to watch from my PC. My question is, is there anyway to watch from PS4 and iPhone (preferably free) using a proxy? And say if I signed up now for 6 months, when it comes out here, would i be able to switch to Ireland and not have to use a proxy?

Thanks.

You need an US account of PSN and a VPN such as Unblock-Us to watch WWE Network on PS3/4 and iPhone.

Not exactly such whether we need a VPN when it does come over here since WWE Network is geolocated.

I personally think it is better to wait it out at this stage since the launch of WWE Network over here is only right around the corner.

WWE should have an Irish/English superstar in the main event before the network becomes available here. They would get a lot of new subscriptions to see BNB/Devitt compete for the title similar to what UFC did with Conor McGregor .UFC fight pass gained hundreds of new subs as a result.

Alright thanks, Think I'll just sign up for the 1 month and use hola unblocker on the PC for now.

Signing up now, is it alright to just use a random US address?

People have reported they used Hola and found it works. I have not come across a free method for consoles/I-Phone. Personally I use Unblock-us.com on a PS3 with no hassle, it's 3.50 per month but there are other similar services available. Some have mentioned TunnelBear.

I am not sure about needing a DNS/VPN workaround when it is launches in Ireland. It has launched in places elsewhere where people had been using a workaround but I've not gone looking to see if they still need it.

Some people have used WWE's address as a sneaky jab at them: 1241 East Main Street Stamford, CT 06902

You can cancel a 6 month sub via Paypal pretty easily. If you signup with a debit card and have no money in your account on the day they charge you your account will be cancelled. Haven't heard of them chasing people for money after a suspended account (they didn't chase me)

128,000 cancelled their subscription in the last 3 months, Maggle!

Looking forward to it. I really hope there's a lot more detail and content from what we've already seen. And I really hope the WWE are more critical of their product from 1995-1996.

Network exceeding expectations in Canada. I think eventually a channel available on cable is the way to go across the board http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2014/8/19/6046363/wwe-network-reported-to-be-a-huge-success-in-canada

The only bright side of Canadian version of WWE Network is that you don't have to worry about stream lagging or your internet speed connection.

And the pain of switching HDMI inputs, powering up the PS3/PS4 and waiting.

Would be great if it was just on channel 4XX on Sky, along with access to the network through your Sky ID or some such.

Native Chromecast support would be the job.

How do u renew your subscription I'm using unblock us to get the us version

I am not sure brother but check the links in this post to access you Network account settings http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=91710063&postcount=2545

You might be able to click auto-renewal. I'd have thought they would email people to prompt them to re-up. If not, then manually re-subscribing in the same way you at first seems like how it might have to be.

Sign into your account on wwe.com and go to billing information. There's an option there to put on automatic renewal.

Mine was due to run out on the 26th so just renewed there.

As ive said before i've had no problems on apple tv. Looking forward to the Monday night war series and hopefully nitros being added.

For those of us waiting for the Network in October is there any other possible way to see that documentary?

Loved the Shield special. This is exactly the kind of original content the Network needs. Content that doesn't come off as a fluff piece, features original interviews and above all else is fun to watch.

I really liked it obviously. Nice mixed a reality and kayfabe. Got a massive kick off all the Indie footage as well as Sami Zayn and Drake Younger being talking heads

There's a lot of depth to the actual story of the genesis of the group. How clandestine the trio and their practices where - after hours and on the weekends. Obviously you don't get as good as they were in their first WWE match without HOURS of practice. Few knew they were associates in Developmental.

I've said this in the past that The Shield were pitched to debut a year prior here:

Tyler Breeze's gimmick isn't the first idea The Miz stole from NXT.

Seth Rollins being nearly fired was a big story at the time. He was hovering around being fired for a long time and was believed to be more than justified as he wouldn't slow his ring style or listen to trainers instruction. He poisoned the well so badly that WWE stopped hiring Indie workers for a spell as the word from developmental was that they were uncoachable.
