    Sky box office broadcast in 1080i, which is the same as 720p HD

    1080p is full HD, which isn't available from any TV or satellite service yet.

    Are you trying to watch it through your browser on xbox? That's not the way you watch it.

    You have to set up an American xbox live account to download the network app. You'll need a spare 48 hour xbox gold code cause you have to have a gold account to download it.

    It's pretty handy to do. Once you download it on the American account it will be on your normal account as well so you only have to use the us account once.

    I've had problems with the demand stuff stalling as well as frequenting crashes. It sometimes works after a restart. Am using PS3 with unblockus

    Anyone having problems with the network today? It's stalling all the time here for me and was fine all along. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

    I'd say it's a pre Mania influx of new members.

    I'm not goin to bother trying to watch Mania live on it, I reckon it will be a nightmare.

    An interesting litmus test will be how the HoF manages. I'd expect a large viewership given how it's the first time we have to watch or live.

    My plan for the HOF is to wait for 15mins then watch "From Beginning". Should give it time to buffer then if needs be.

    For Mania, has to be Sky Box Office. Can;t take the risk!

    Even it was guaranteed buffering/issue free the Hall of Fame has lots of down time, video packages you have already seen and one or two useless inductors so watching it on a mild delay might be a plan.

    Won't WM30 be on demand soon after anyway as a Network premiere?

    After last year's WM, I'm happy to wait if the Network becomes lagamania. Not paying extra for the pleasure of that kind of show again.

    Wrestlemania press conference is on today at 4pm. The network schedule on PS3 now give local time rather than US time which is handy.

    I had that weird lag issue last night on the pre- and post-RAW show where it would skip back a few seconds and replay what Josh Matthews just said where it would skip back a few seconds and replay what Josh Matthews just said.

    If the Mania stream is screwed up I'll just go to bed and watch it the next day when I'm more awake and alert.

    Press conference was really cringeworthy stuff. The press looked very disinterested. It looked so carny having Kahli limp out for the photo op.

    Triple H's whole thing with this double work shoot promos on Daniel Bryan trying to work the internet/smart fans came off really awkward. He gets introduced as a head of creative, goes on about the developmental stuff, the NXT wrestlers having dreams and chances to work Wrestlemania and then has to kayfabe say he's going to crush Daniel Bryan's dream at Wrestlemania.
