Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Delayed for "discussions with potential partners". Wonder what that means? Probably something Sky related. Edited September 30, 2014 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well that seems somewhat predictable. And massively disappointing. Â Be unbelievable if it's an issue with SKY given that they just negotiated a new deal when they knew this was coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 30, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2014 Very rubbish news :-( Like Rick I was really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Could it be that WWE were all set to launch and then someone has come in at the 11th hour to go in together which has made them reconsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 For those who are waiting for the UK launch, what's the reason you haven't gone down the VPN route and pay for the US version? Is it just the hassle of setting up a VPN? A friend of mine (who is a massive techie) is constantly complaining about the wait, and I just can't figure out why he just won't get the US version.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have had it since it launched doing the VPN route. The only mess about was setting up a US PS3 account so that you could download the WWE Network app. Once you have that it's a piece of piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I re-signed up to WWE Network and Unblock-Us last week not knowing Wednesday was the supposed launch of the UK version. Pretty glad I did now. Â Setting up on my PS3 was pretty easy. Took about 10 minutes to sign up to Unblock-Us, set up a US PSN, download the app, and get to watching the latest NXT Takeover. Means I donât have to watch it via Chrome and the Hola extension, which for some annoying reason refreshes the page every 15 minutes or so. Tried to watch the SummerSlam main event on my MacBook and it really took away from the match, refreshing part-way during a German suplex flurry.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 30, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2014 I was waiting for that: the technical stuff doesn't scare me but the reason is twofold: I watch all of my on-demand TV through Android devices. As is well known Android devices are sticky about this, using the geo-location which can be overcome but is not consistent. I don't really want to watch through a computer, nor do I have space to hook a computer to the TV. I also would be watching in other places (e.g. work) where I won't have the luxury of Unblock-Us. Â I'm a little wary as well that one day WWE might decide to be more thorough and properly shut down non-US viewers with no recourse.

Pretty much this. I just waited for the UK version to save any messing around, plus I was planning on setting it up on ym PS3, and I still haven't got my PS3 back from an ex-girlfriend yet.

Sphinx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I've lent my Unblock Us login to three or four people now with no problem. It just says that your internet address seems to have changed on the Unblock Us homepage. Press the button underneath the message and it's fine again.

Doctor Whos Next Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The reason why I haven't gone about trying to use UnBlock US is that I am somewhat paranoid that the service will be declared illegal and that in turn will  1) Result the loophole being closed, leaving me paying, whatever it is per month for something I can't use 2) Result in users of the service being blocked from WWE Network when it does finally come out over here. 3) Result in Devices like the iPad being bricked for terms of conditions violations 4) And admittedly most unlikely of all, Result in prosecution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I really doubt it. Unblock Us isn't the only site that offers that service. There are tons of options. There are countries more censored than us that use these services.  WWE aren't going to turn subscribers down.  No chance of an iPad being bricked over it. Just never going to happen.  And again, no chance of prosecution. If you were sharing copyrighted files to masses of people then there's a chance, but not because you're using a VPN.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 WWE are losing money on the network through the few subscribers they have as it is. So long your paying for it, they'll leave you be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the UK launch didn't seem that far away so I decided to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted September 30, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Using a VPN service is, in itself, completely legal. In technical terms it's the equivalent of buying something from a website that only ships to US addresses, giving it the address of a friend who lives in the US, then getting them to post it on to you when it arrives.
