More stuff like the Shield special would make people buy the network.

Shame any time they show ROH the quality is terrible, I dunno why as they where prefect on the DVD'S

Starting today, NXT's first airing will take place at 4pm ET while Superstars will have its first airing at 5pm ET
Los Angeles, CA

9pm and 10 pm our time lads.

Between this and TNA moving days I am all over the shop.

Ape Lincoln · 21-08-2014 09:45PM

Does this new episode of NXT look a bit fuzzy for anyone else? Like the sharpness is way up.

I get the impression that their LED screens are pushing the 720 feed to its limit. Becky's flashy strobe entrance in particular had pixelation all over the shop.

rovert · 21-08-2014 09:46PM

Likewise, Ape.

Ape Lincoln · 21-08-2014 09:49PM

WWE crowds need to get a chant going demanding they stream the Network in 1080p. Or start a Twitter hashtag or something!

Blue_Dabadee · 21-08-2014 09:57PM

The quality of the stream always go down whenever strobe lighting is being shown during an entrance.

I just watched the shield doc and was coming on here to ask did anyone else find the picture fuzzy. Must be across the network.

If you watch the shield doc look out for the Michael Hayes talking head Bits which I thought is where it was most noticeable.

It is also when they shoot those screens with logos at the entrance way. I have noise reduction turned up full and turned sharpness down and it helps a bit.

Yeah noticed that. It's weird. Atm on PS3 there are two versions of the most recent Raw pre-show. One has a bug reading 'Live' in the top right-hand corner, the other doesn't and the former looks fuzzier than the latter.

I think the appropriate technical term is 'digital noise'

Anyone else having issues with this on a laptop? It allows me to view the menus but any time I go to play anything the wheel just keeps spinning. I'm using unblockus and Chrome. Won't let me in at all on Firefox.

I'm using unblock.us too, I was completely dead on Chrome the last few weeks, just a buffer wheel spinning ad infinitum on both live stream and VOD. This situation has upgraded slightly today to playing their little jingle before just stopping on a blank screen, this again on both live and VOD.

I just checked Firefox and it stalled on the live stream with a blank screen, refreshed and it worked fine. VOD also works perfectly.

Pentecost · 21-08-2014 11:52PM

Yeah I got it working on IE which I never use and had almost forgotten about! Strange but it's not too big a deal.

The Ayatolla · 22-08-2014 07:58AM

Noticed the fuzzyness during the Shield doc, other than that I thought the picture was excellent.

1080p won't help too much, its likely the bitrate of the video to make sure it streams seamlessly. This will probably be improved over time.

gerrybbadd · 22-08-2014 11:16AM

Had the fuzziness as well during the Shield doc. Was sure it was a dodgy HDMI cable to my PS4!

Blue_Dabadee · 22-08-2014 10:55PM

Really enjoyed the first episode of Monday Night War show, it was an nice introduction episode to give viewers a general insight of Monday Night Wars.

WCW giving out results of RAW when it was taped was a dick move on their part.

MitchKoobski · 22-08-2014 11:28PM

The guys at GiantBomb made a good observation re: the 6 month subscriptions running out. Some of the Summerslam decisions seemed like they were done to influence more buys/renewals. Most likely bull****, but you never really know for sure....

"Hey look Dolph Ziggler is Intercontinental Champion!"
"Paige, your favourite new Diva, is champion again!"
"Rollins and Ambrose? Look at all this craxy stuff happening!"
"Brock Lesnar destroyed the kid's favourite John Cena!"

"Please renew the Network...."

The Ayatolla · 23-08-2014 12:14AM

They sure sold it to me!

How do you mean you turned it off? Did you cancel your subscription to them?

If you're still paying them, go to their site, click the Setup link at top of screen, setup your device, go back to their site on said device and check that you have three green bars.

Does anybody know when the Network will be available to get in Ireland? I know it's soon but I'm actually craving to watch some old Smackdown.

Little bit outside my level of knowledge but is there a thing on your router where you can have a dynamic or static IP? It might be that....

Fwiw, there's no complete years of Smackdown prior to 2012. There are some good episodes up but they're not in chronological order.

gerrybbadd · 24-08-2014 09:16AM

Ya, the Unblock-Us issue happens me a lot too, I have to log in every 3 or 4 times I use the network on my ps4
