WWE Network (On Foxtel, Kayo and Binge)

[PVF]

There have been a lot of connectivity issues this morning for fans trying to sign up for the WWE Network. As of this writing, fans have noted that the site is really slow or doesn't load at all. I personally received a "Webpage not found" error after filling out the registration form.
Some users that have been able to sign up have complained about streaming issues. WrestlingINC.com reader @armyag3 wrote that they signed up for the Network a few minutes before 9am ET, then they started to watch Deadly Games and "then got the boot and can't get back into it."

Reader @Kadium wrote: "I am on the Network and Summerslam 2003 froze after 3 minutes or so... I had to unplug my Roku and update it again before I coud get on. BUT now that I am on it is running so slow..."

WWE acknowledged these issues and posted on their Twitter and Facebook, writing:

Also, you can only download the app on your PS3 if you have a US PSN account.

How do you go about doing that?? I tried before by simply just signing up and putting an American address but when I log in on my PS3 it still looks like the Aus store and no WWE app in sight. Any tips??

I've got two profiles on my PS3. Profile A is my Australia PSN Account and use it all the time. Profile B is my US Account and I only use it to download apps that aren't available in Australia. But once you download an app for one profile it will show on the other one aswell.

I've had my PS3 for ages and only just worked out that you can do this, with thanks to you haha. I am slow...

It's not just the signup issue that's having problems. Every single video I try comes with "Media Error: Video not available"

Same here thought it was just me , signed up and paid

on pc i am getting "media error"

on Ps4 i am getting a sign in error or some crap say to many attempts when i try to play a video

 

[Wickzki]

I just tried on PS4 - I'm getting errors that tell me to restart the app due to null something or other - didn't write the exact code down.

I know I'm a paid subscriber now though (or at least PayPal took my money for the WWE).

This is exactly why I was hoping that they'd do some sort of beta test and/or stress test. I'm confident that they'll sort all of the kinks out but their free trial and insta-buy subscribers shouldn't be the ones 'testing' this for them. The free trial people will now have reasons to skip it "for now" (not good as tech requires early adopters en mass in order to take off) and those who insta-purchased like myself are aggravated (though we'll get over it and all good things take time).

All it would have taken is selecting a few thousand e-mail addresses from their several million large subscriber list and uploading the demo RAW pre and post shows that they did. Fans would have enjoyed getting an advanced taste of what those shows will be like and the most basic bugs and server tests would have been performed. Total win-win.

Looks like maybe you do need a VPN, last night it was working fine but this morning I was getting "Media Error". Used Hola Unblocked on chrome and seems to be working now. But I'm hearing people in the USA are getting the same error so will take a few days to see what the issue is.

 

[Crow_Sting]

So can someone PM me how to sign up on a ps3 with an american account so i can get it? Please!!

IF you need a VPN in order to watch anything then the WWE should have set geographical blocking on their sign up pages. Not doing so is especially poor.

For anyone needing a solution this is the free solution -- good VPN too. Smooth video transfer. Thanks.

 

[Bombers_Insider]

also this gets you around the IP crap

http://www.unblock-us.com

works fine now on ps4

 

[Cudi]

Anyone got it working on the PS3?? Im gonna try it tonight so hopefully no issues.

Bombers_Insider will have that one right. Unblock needed for that as you can't use the chrome extension on PS3 (obviously).

Going to have a crack soon mate

So do we need to sign up to WWE Network with a US address?

 

[Bombers_Insider]

So do we need to sign up to WWE Network with a US address?

yep once you sign up and pay with pay pal , you need to do the ip stuff to make it USA

 

[Crow_Sting]

yep once you sign up and pay with pay pal , you need to do the ip stuff to make it USA

I have absolutely no idea how to do that! Looks like I'm waiting

 

[Crow_Sting]

yep once you sign up and pay with pay pal , you need to do the ip stuff to make it USA

When I'm on the first sign up page it asks for country and zip code. Assume it has to be US or Canada

Easy Step by Step Instructions to get the WWE Network on PC and PS3/4

1. Go to comgateway.com and open an account.

What this does: Gives you a valid US address. It will be an Oregon based addressed that you can use to send shipments of items you purchase (if ever) from American companies that do not ship to Australia (e.g. there are certain things Amazon wont ship here that are much cheaper than you'll get them here).

2. Go to WWE's website and sign up for a Network account using your new comgateway address. Use PayPal as your payment source.

What this does: self explanatory

3A. If using WWE app on your PC use Hola (hola.org)
3B. If using WWE app on PS3/4 use unblock-us.com

What this does: Both serve as VPN to bypass geographical blocking from the US

I've not used unblock on a console but there are set up information everywhere that should be easy enough to follow.

Enjoy.

Have signed up and all I did was use my Australia address and change the state to Alabama. So doesn't seem like any restrictions have been set at all. Was on Reddit and heaps of people in UK and Australia tried and it worked so I have it a go and no issues. Maybe they will tighten it up in the future but hopefully not.

For 10 bucks a month I cant see how any fan wouldn't sign up, its looks amazing so far.

Did you use an Aussie credit card??

I just used paypal and it went through fine, didn't change my paypal address or anything.
