$10 dollars a month is a very good deal in my opinion. Good to see it finally taking off after all this hype.

That last part is me. I get WrestleMania every year and I always have about 15 to 20 people over to watch it with me. This PPV on the network idea is great. They will lose some money in the start but over time they will easily make back the money from subscriptions. Over all its a great business decision. I'm just in shock on how cheap it is, and that even Mania will be on it. Just hope this doesn't end up like RoH's iPPV's that had terrible quality and always went down. My only concern is that we'll probably need an internet connection to be able to access the network and my internet is pretty shitty at times.
Won't hurt the pocket books as much simply because they don't get 50% of the $50 bucks a ppv costs. The highest split they get is from dish at 40%, direct is in the 30s and and cables range in the. 20s as they've said. They only get a 50/50 split for mania each year across the board, thus the extra hour and higher price.

I'm waiting for them to announce whether or not they have a limit on how many devices can be activated on an account.

Well you would think it would have to be at least 2 as they have a second screen option.

I'm hoping for a limit of about 4 at once, that's the mlb tv limit anyhow

But the problem is, they advertised all of those mediums. And if I wanted to put it on two of my PS4's to watch PPV's on the big screens, plus have it on my iPad and laptop for casual watching. I understand not letting you have infinite devices as everyone would just give passwords to their friends... but the limit could suck. It's not like Netflix where I'm happy just having it on my PS4's...

No I mean mlb.TV At least for baseball can only run on 4 devices simultaneously. You can set an account to be accessed on a iPad, 2-3 phones, ps3, Xbox, laptop, roku, and all that but you can only be using one account on 4 devices at the same time, so 4 screens at once.

Doesn't Netflix as well do that but only 2 at once?

I think it's 3 now. But it's sketchy. I have 2 PS4's, a couple iPads, a couple laptops, and a desktop in my house. All have Netflix on them... but if the 4 people in my house just so happen to be watching something different at the same time, my account gets banned? Again, I understand the limit to a degree, but not when it's just 4 or less devices at a time active.

I would probably say 5 is reasonable to me.

WWE will be offering fans a one week free trial of the WWE Network if they sign up on the day the Network launches, which is on February 24th at 9am on WWE.com.


Its a great way for people to test it out on the cheap and even catch up on the chamber and rumble
