Well the days of getting it for 9.99 are over for us in Ireland it seems. Next billing date for me is August 5th at 12.99. Well those of us who signed up and got it at the reduced rate got five good years out of it. The thing I’m worried about is when they bring in tiered network prices that us in Ireland will get shafted price wise on that. I mean I wish more things I payout were only 12.99 a month but still it was a nice deal.

I was charged the 9.99 today (my usual billing date and price) but the billing date has changed on the Xbox from July 28th to August 28th for 12.99 :P It's saying the same on desktop now as well so I think this was my last month at 9.99 and it'll be 12.99 from August 28th

Haha. Are you going to keep the network at 12.99 ?

Itssoeasy

I did a quick bit of maths on the increase and its 36 quid extra over the year which is 0.70 cent a week extra(I don’t normally in those terms) and I mean to be fair the desktop update looks class but I don’t know what era iPhone they tried it on but it looks stupid on an iPhone screen. My iPad from what I remember from last night was grand.

Honestly it's the removal of the skip to the end of a match feature that is annoying me more It was so easy going through old Raws and Nitros (which is all I really watch). Started from the start and have gotten as far as mid 98 haha

It's just a lot easier to follow storylines by going to the finish of a match you don't want to watch rather than skipping it completely.

Has anyone else's not updated yet? Mines still the same on PS4 and phone. Although I'd rather keep the old one if it meant not losing the skip to end of match feature, why would they get rid of that?

I think it might be to do with the new upgraded search function. You'll just get the the few results for say "Savage Vs Flair" and not get double the results with "Savage Vs Flair finish" included for each match. That would be my guess.

Yeah I'd do the same and click to the second "dot" and get the end of the match I didn't want to watch and then get the backstage stuff and get the start of the next match if I wanted it. BUT aim sayinh that I do like that the backstage stuff is getting its own chapter because there have been some brilliant backstage segments in WWE history.

Updated for me now. Have they got rid of the watchlist too or am I blind?

They said they were removing it during the update but I’ve seen a quote that whatever you had on your wishlist was saved and will be the same when reinstated.

Hi all - any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I opened the Network app on my iPhone 5s (IOS version 8.4.1) but when I tried to watch a video the following message appeared:

MEDIA ERROR
An error occurred when attempting to play this video. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please visit wwe.com/help

Is anyone else (with an old iPhone) experiencing this? I tried calling the WWE helpline in Austin Texas but the connection was terrible and I was on hold for 15 minutes on my two attempts. I'd be very disappointed if I can't use the app again as I access it almost daily. I'm aware that if I download the new IOS the app may begin working again but I'm happy with my phone with the current settings.

Thanks

Itssoeasy

The minimum iOS is 10.2 now and it was iOS8 so you need to upgrade your iOS on the phone. If you have an iPhone5 you should be able to get to iOS 10.3.3.

RollieFingers

Getting rid of the skip to end of match function, I thought this was supposed to be a good update :P Hopefully the watchlist isn't cut. The interface does look a lot better but they were very handy tools, watching through some old Prime Time shows at the minute, there's only so many Lanny Pofo, Hillbilly Jim and Hercules matches one can stomach!

It's not gone. They said whatever you had saved prior to the relaunch will be there when they bring it back.

My next billing date was the 5th of August after the update and it's now the 8th of August. I mean okay then.:D The only thing that's annoying me is the fact the app isn't fitting the full screen. I know pre 2008 stuff won't stretch and that's just the way it is, but HD stuff from 2008 onwards should be full screen regardless of device.

Itssoeasy

Sorted out the issue on my iPhone. I had to delete and download the app. I downloaded the app over five years ago on an iPhone5 and for reason the app assumed I still had that phone. Looks great now. ðŸ‘

It's not there at the moment but they are saying they are working to fix it.

gerrybbadd

I think the watchlist is under your account now.

Got stung for the 12.99 as well. Might unsub at this stage

Not a bad option.
I would also suggest using a Roku. Can buy one for around 30/40 euro from the likes of Harvey Norman. You can also get other apps like ROH Honor Club and even OTT etc. Well worth it. Could easily spend that on a night out.

Ah Gerry let's look at it logically here. Yeah it's a pain in the arse getting stung for the higher monthly price but did we honestly think it would last forever ? I didn't think we'd get over five years. I was convinced WWE would decide to cut us off because we found a loophole. Sure the increase wouldn't even give you price of a pint.
Gerry I say sleep on it.

Still no sign of a watchlist on mine. I see they have gotten rid of the hidden gems section that was in the vault too, why like? Not a fan of the update at all.

Finally signed up to the network through fire fox on the laptop. First impressions aren’t great. What’s the best way of navigating it?

I hope you got a free month or whatever because otherwise you've just signed up to pay money to see Corbin/Rollins, Shane O/Reigns and Becky/Flair on PPV over and over again.

I guess you could watch some of the stuff from the late 90s/early 00s to see something other than a wrestling company that could be best described as "beige".

So you're back off a 2 week ban without a gimmick change huh? Just picking back up where you left off?

Itssoeasy

Okay well my next billing date in now the day on summer slam this year. Since the new network update my billing date is moving further away. I mean at some point surely to Christ I will be charged for August.

Itssoeasy

I give up lads. I got charged the old price this morning(my old date of billing) of 9.99 and my next billing date at the new price is September 18th. I give up trying to understand what the people in charge are thinking.

They didn't. It's now just you can turn it on and off.

Yes. If you go to watch a video for example on your phone there is a little wheel type symbol in the bottom right corner next to the full screen icon. It gives settings to change audio language, subtitles, and autoplay on or off.

RollieFingers

Still no sign of the watchlist returning.

Itssoeasy

So the next date of renewal is sept 23rd. Are the creative team booking my renewal dates now or what ? Just making this **** up as they are going along it seems.

J. Marston

Was thinking of renewing before the weekend for Summerslam but have been reading that the update has made it a pain to cancel. Some saying you have to email customer support etc.

Is this true?

PTH2009

Anyone watch the new Big show documentary

Fair play to him for doing so well in his recovery and he could reappear any day now for another in ring run (no doubt with plenty of face/heel turns)

Saw him in the Spencer a few times when they were over in Dublin and hes such a nice guy and really gives his time to fans when he can. Thought he was bigger tho but could of been just to the size of the lobby. I. Imagine you would really notice his nice in a small room. Still a big man and 5ft 6 me would not stand a chance lol

It's true. Used to be the case you could cancel with a few clicks but now that option has been removed from the accounts page.

J. Marston

Well shag that so. Services with intentionally obscure cancellation procedures can burn in a fire.

Lads I’m fairly new to the network but I’m finding it very tricky to navigate. There’s so much content but I’m finding things randomly. There are tones of series that come up randomly but aren’t actually listed under any category. It’s grand and all but navigating it is such a pain in the hole that I don’t know if I’ll bother beyond the month

They've "Upgraded" it recently, but honestly, I find it harder now to navigate than before

It's practically unusable on PS4 since the update. Really difficult to navigate, half of the time shows don't continue watching from the spot you left off, fast forward/rewind is really fiddly now, and still no watchlist. The previous PS4 app was really good, never had an issue with it. I don't want to but if it stays like it is I'll be cancelling.

I always had trouble with the Ps4 app was never good for me so i moved to casting it off my phone.

Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

not really but its frustrating to be watching one show and then when its over there's a suggestion for something similar that just pops up randomly and id have no idea how to find it otherwise. for example i was watching legends with jbl when he had austin, hhh and hbk on and when that was over up came "The JBL Show" which i didnt know was a thing as i hasnt seen it listed anywhere. ive tried searching things by superstar and that doesnt do much either. navigating ppvs and weekly shows is grand, im mainly interested in docs and series or a list of cool moments but there isnt a concise comprehensive way of searching all available

Jesus that was all the way back in Nov 2013. Remember attended a signing with the shield before that and done the Guinness tour ha. Attached the cover I got signed by them

Hidden gems is back as a stand alone group on the network and they have grouped the matches up there in to categories.

So although NXT will be live on USA on Wednesdays, they will show the programme on Thursday on the network.

At least its not a 1 month delay like Raw & Smackdown
