Direct TV and Dish Drop PPVs

[John McHenry]

n another piece of fallout to the WWE Network, DirecTV is set to drop offering WWE pay-per-view events as we noted earlier. According to sources, the satellite company has decided to stand with Dish Network and will not offer such shows going forward.

The moves from the two satellite companies come after WWE put their PPVs on the WWE Network for all subscribers; Dish claimed it was unfair to their customers for WWE to offer the events as part of a $10 subscription and then charge full price to watch outside the network. Dish didn’t offer Elimination Chamber and nearly didn’t offer WrestleMania but gave in for that show. DirecTV offered both but will not offer the rest.

Of course this will mean less buys for WWE’s shows but likely more subscriptions to the network, as DirecTV and Dish customers sign up so they have access to the events. This could easily backfire for the providers or WWE if the Network fails.

Well considering what WWE's take away on the PPV would likely be I don't think it's going to be really that bad a call for them, Though I expect the Network to start offering up real commercials not just wwe ones

Guessing it's going to make the choice of those people who didn't get the network easier.

Kinda sucks if you live elsewhere though.......When is this fucker going to Canada?

I think WWE expected this. Don't think Vince is sweating it.

Probably end of 2014, early 2015 like over here

WWE would've hit their goal if it launched internationally.

Yup, and it sucks so much ass. What are all the countries that get it? Or is it only 'Murica?

And I completely agree that it isn't fair for us to have to pay full price for the PPV.

There's ways to get it in other countries using a proxy that seems more simple than I expected it to be. I don't know how, but Andrew figured it out so I'm sure it's not hard.

I generally try not to do that type of shit. He found himself a website that has it or some shit. I'd rather pay for it, and I never understood why people had to steal this type of shit.

Nah, Hatred is doing it and still paying I believe. He used some proxy and fake address to sign up but he (or his parents) are paying the shit.

Ah, I'm a patient man, I can wait for that type of stuff. Mainly because I don't know how to do any of that shit even if you showed me. Wouldn't feel right anyway.
