I have problems rarely enough that I'm annoyed when it happens. It's not common at all for me using an AppleTV4 (or even a 3 when I was using that) or the Android TV app on my TV.

Except it isn't because nearly every PPV has lags, interruptions and sometimes complete service drops from time to time.

I have watched every PPV live and almost never had problems.

The first couple years of Network were really dodgy in my experience to the point where I quit because it was so lovely. Now it's a good service.

I've never had a problem. I signed up at the start and Mania that year was fine. I stopped my sub summertime 2015 and picked it up again in January and have yet to have a drop out.

You're not wrong but that's not necessarily the Network's fault. Even when I've had net issues, the Network has dealt with them reasonably well for me.

I have maybe one drop out every 2 or 3 shows and it's not even a disruption of the stream. The picture quality just drops for like 3 seconds.

I have garbage internet and the live shows are still great. Occasionally while watching archived content I get booted out and refreshing says the content cannot be found for a few minutes, not sure if this is a network issue or something on my end, but otherwise 0 problems.

I've got the best I can get here which is 50mbps up/down. I guess it could well be xfinity throttling it but everything else works flawlessly so I dunno.

I don't believe it's you. I'd kill for 50mbps from where I'm from, but I'll have the network erroring out every hour or so during a live PPV, and it gets worse during the main event. Watching 205 Live gives me no problems though. And for some reason when I watch old PPVs, it'll buffer at about a 1:1 ratio. Meaning I'll have to pause it for 5-10 minutes to be able to watch 5-10 minutes of it being interrupted.

I've only had some minor buffering issues, and usually only during the Rumble or WrestleMania. Usually resolves itself pretty quickly.

The only problem I've had was the app (on Apple TV) crashing when Roman showed up as #30 at the Rumble this year.

Not sure I'd really call that a "problem". Just went to bed then, having enjoyed what I saw.

Haha oh poo poo yeah that's great. Especially when Vince follows it up with an "Oh I see"

Really though kwang is just hilarious. Giant mortal kombat ninja costume that he takes off to reveal..........ANOTHER NINJA COSTUME! Also, him being savio vega is wonderful

Does it rhyme with Hang or Song? I've never heard it said. I imagine Hang, but that's the NI accent I suppose.

I think traditional cable gave me more glitches than live Network PPVs. But ymmv of course.

Remember how, when all this Network business started, everyone was so certain that they wouldn't include Wrestlemania in subsequent years? And it was understood that they would rotate a bunch of content OUT every month or so? The Network is really good y'all.

I like how there are two RAWs after Wrestlemania XI where Vince and Jerry Lawler are clearly in front of a green screen superimposed on the crowd of wherever they were taping.

I'm watching random stuff on the Network and Halloween Havoc '92 is in Philly and the crowd is smarky even then, it's goddamn hilarious. Highlights include a heel team of Arn Anderson,, Beautiful Bobby Eaton, and Michael P.S. Hayes getting cheered to hell above a generic-rear end face team including, even more hilariously, Shane Douglas, and a sizable section of people chanting "Cincinnati Sucks!" loudly at Brian Pillman.

Also a do-rag clad Teddy Long in then NWA champion Masahiro Chono's locker room for an interview in which he moves to pronounce Masahiro for a brief moment, mentally says "gently caress it" and just says Chono instead.

I hate (at least on the roku) how the show always cuts off the last 30 minutes of the end. I missed the first hour of the show. When I got home, I started from the beginning but it only showed an hour of the show left after the first match so I have to watch the end (and I am glad I did since Roosevelt/Nakamura took us even longer than that hour would have covered).

Signed up for the 3-month trial - the live stream works fine, but I can't get any of the Vault content to load (using Chrome on Windows 10). Tried disabling ublock, but it's still just a spinning circle for all the archived videos.

Any ideas?

Try a different browser. The wife and I use (of all things) Edge on Win 10 when we're watching anything off the Network on a PC.

I think he can hear you, Ray.
For the first time probably ever I'm getting issues on the network. Trying to watch the NXT show and twice now I've had an issue where it's gone to black, loaded up a Snickers sponsors Wrestlemania screen and then the feed has jumped back about 45 minutes.

Then that gets sorted and i either get a quality drop or that issue where it'll jump back about 5 seconds.

Yeah, for whatever reason, I can't run anything but the main live stream in Chrome. It'll work once or twice if I clear the cache but then it's just the loading circle.

Works fine in Firefox :shrug:
