WrestleMania tonight...

[Baddar]

For the last two years I've been unable to watch this live on Virgin.

Last year, it froze just after the programme had started, and the year before, I had a black picture all the way through, and was forced to watch the replay of the event the day after on both occasions.

So, has anything been done to make sure this problem doesn't occur again tonight?

On the box downstairs, at the moment, I can't even order the event. Whenever I go to More On Demand, it says it's temporarily unavailable, and has done all afternoon. The box upstairs (in my room) allows me to go to More On Demand and book the event.

I'm just hoping there's no problems tonight, because I really want to watch it. I'm not very confident of watching it live, though, I must say.

By the way, anyone else planning on watching tonight?

In all seriousness though, you would've thought something (I don't know what exactly) would have been done to prevent it happening for a third, possibly fourth time in a row.

if it happens its virgin media that'll have 2 give us all our money back as you can guarantee they'll get a poop load of calls in the morning.

OMG!! i thought it was just me thinking that! (thats not sarcastic by the way, iknow it sorta sounds it lol) the PPV's have adverts every like 10 mins its soo annoying cos there really long breaks! they put them in the worst places too, its like its done automaticaly!

I dont usually start watching it straight away, i pause it and wait untill 45 mins in because iknow i can just fast forward the millions of ads. tottally sucks

Bravo actually edit out some of the violence of the TNA PPV's. Try watching a match that looks violent (maybe the leathal lockdown match) from the next PPV on bravo then watch it again on youtube (or simular).

This is the reason why they show it so many days after the event and don't show the live broadcast.

I have to say though that alot of the characters from TNA are better than WWE, The wrestling is alot better (not as many rest holds, unless its the oap's from the MEM in the ring), only thing they need to do is get rid of all the filler stuff (videoblog, random vid clips over music) and fill it with actual wrestling and storyline. when the show used to be 1 hour long you never got any of the filler stuff, since its gone to 2 hours i can watch the whole thing in a little over an hour by fast forwarding all the rubbish.
