...or are others encountering SEVERAL glitches with WWE Network??? Seems like everything I try to watch "on demand" just keeps cutting out on me. And when I watch "live" material, I get several little skips which cause the last few seconds to repeat. Today, a new issue arose when I was told I couldn't watch the live feed because the parental controls would not allow me to. THERE ARE NO PARENTAL CONTROLS in the "watch now" function!
Very frustrating and if you actually get through to the help center, the operators, those that have some knowledge of the English language seem nothing but annoyed at your call.
Secondly, was I mistaken in believing the on-demand library would be available all at once? Seems a little thin, especially the ECW material, of which there is almost nothing.
And all of this after a major headache trying to subscribe, which constituted 8 (!) phone calls because I kept getting disconnected!
Hate to say I'm a little disappointed, because I guess it's natural to have bugs in the system, but here's hoping this turns itself around. And quick.
I am accessing the network via a Roku3 player. Is anyone else having any types of issues???

I can only get it on my phone. When I try to watch anything on my computer it just is the turning circle. I sent an e-mail for help two days ago and still have no response. I'm hoping it gets better. I plan on picking up a PS4 when I can find one and hopefully be able to watch through that.

I won't keep it beyond the free trial. ECW has two shows I can access and it's not even the first couple. It's #46 or some thing like that. WCCW only has four I believe. And watching NXT ARrival right now; it's constantly rebuffering. It was cool to go back and watch the very first ECW PPV but with Wrestlemania being extremely dull as of now; probably not going to get it until I hear more. Not sure if there is different content on my PS3 to that of PC or not.

I've seen a lot of people having problems but also seen them able to get it working later on. Most of the reviews once things are in order that I've seen have been good. There was bound to be glitches with this and I would say no their entire library was not going to be accessible the first week. Probably never, not everything they have.

It's not just you. I'm running the app on my PS3 and Roku. Streaming has worked all week long for me until tonight. NXT arrival live special only works for a few minutes then stops. It even stops on the website. Any on demand video ends up stopping about every five minutes. And I can't even install the app on my kindle fire. I expected issues in the first week, even two.
The only issue I have with it is WWE sent an email out yesterday stating that everything would be fixed by Thursday morning. They don't need to promise anything just take the time to get it right and apologize later. So far I've enjoyed what I could watch and have to say having a 24/7 wrestling network is awesome. And hopefully the glitches don't turn people off. Even cable goes out from time to time. I talked to a few other people who have yet to be able to even get the app working at all since Monday. Seems like there are a variety of issues.

At first I was having problems getting the WWE Network to work using Google Chrome (and I still am) but I found out (at least for me) it works perfectly on Internet Explorer on which I have had no problem using it for the last 3 days. I just got done watching the live feed of NXT: Arrival and, although it briefly buffered for me a few times, overall I had no major problem watching the show (but I had to hit refresh a couple of times during the main event and I lost a few minutes there.)

I had problems with VOD until today and no feeds with the live stream until tonight. They pulled a straight up ROH with the issues on the first live event stream.

I guess everyone is having different problems. I have been watching mainly on my PS3 and had problems with VOD for the first few days and even now it isn't perfect. The live stream has been pretty flawless for me but it did go down about 90 minutes into NXT tonight. I had to go back in a few times before I was able to get back to where it cut off and then it played straight through to the end.
I enjoyed it by the way, it was my first time getting to see a full show of NXT. At any rate hopefully they can fully work out the kinks in the next few days and weeks because it really is a great service to have. Fingers crossed.

As an MMO player, I understand there will be issues with any tech launches the first few days and into a week. That is not my problem. The lack of content is what bothers me. Great, they seemingly have every ppv. That's wonderful. But if I want to watch the months worth of tv that leads to it, I'm screwed. I'm talking about the non WWE content. Haven't seen if I can watch every RAW or SD since it's inception. I know that I can't get anything recent. That kind of doesn't bother me as I can watch the highlights on the WWE youtube channel and read ProWrestling.net for what I missed. The live stream was horrible for me. Kept buffering and finally after putting up with it for 20 minutes of the pre show and then the first few minutes of the live stream; I had enough. Even when I tried to "watch from beginning", it would still buffer in the same exact spots as live. I feel like I'm bashing this too much and maybe I'll give it a shot towards 'Mania but for now ugh. I just wish they didn't have any random show from ECW, WCW and WCCW. Start with the first one and go from there.

Ok, so I'm not alone...ha! Obviously there were going to be technical issues, just didn't expect so many. On the positive, I did think NXT Arrival was pretty good overall, though I lost the live feed on the Roku and had to watch the main event on my laptop, costing me the first few minutes of the match.
