The WWE Network will cost the equivalant of $9.99p/m which works out at about £6.20p/m, i have included a screenshot of the email i got from WWE.

Finally! I also have got this email. So I'm guessing you sign up on Monday snd then cancel at the end of November if you don't want to continue without being charged? Decent

But it seems as if they couldn't find any partners in the uk. Which is completely shoddy and hilariously bad business by them as they've missed out on 3 months of income from U.K. customers as they desperately tried to get sky to partner up and then failed

From what i've read across various forums WWE as a whole aren't doing too good at the moment.
Edit- i got dates mixed up the network launches in uk monday 3rd November is free for November however ps3,smart tv etc apps won't be available in uk until 18th November, but you can use your laptop until then.

Probably going to cancel my sub in November. Haven't watched it for about 6 weeks. Trouble is, I want to watch all the RAW and SD's from 2002 to 2006 but they still haven't got them up yet. If that was likely to come before the end of 2014 I would hold off cancelling my sub.

I agree with you but at least from December though we can now subscribe on a month by month basis rather than need a 6 month commitment which i think is a step in the right direction.

Just a bit of advice from any of you guys who have received a code from Virgin for a six month free trial on Netflix. I registered with Netflix last year and took out their one month free trial, I had to put in my credit card details in case I let it run for a bit longer, which I did actually, anyway I've now got this code from Virgin, but when I enter it on the Netflix site ( I'ts accepting the code ) I'm still being asked which monthly scheme I'd like to take out, i.e SD at £5.99 per month or HD at £6.99, is this standard procedure in case I overrun the six month free trial?

Thanks.

Hmmm odd as mine automatically went to £5.99p/m option, however i was a Netflix subscriber befor i got a vm code though and i'm on a programme my price stays at £5.99p/m until 2016.
I think you're getting the new pricing scheme as you wasn't a subscriber before.

Thanks mate, but am I correct in saying that even though you are given a free six months code you still need to put in credit/debit card details?

The Amazon Instant video app has just been added to the US Tivo Roamio.

It is planned to be added to the Premier, which the VM Tivo is based on in 2015.

So if Amazon and VM want to do a deal, then theoretically, come next year, the technical functionality could be added.

The Roamio is capable of outputting Amazon video at 1080p/24 with DD+ 5.1 audio on titles with those encodes.

Now TV was slated on last weeks Watchdog:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...s-34-episode-3

It's about halfway through for anyone interested in watching it

Problems included being cut off during crucial football matches, being given a ridiculously short window in which to view box sets etc.

Great news, lets hope a deal can be struck. Cheers PB

The WWE Network was scheduled to go live today in the United Kingdom. Well, that didn’t go as planned. With just 20 minutes to go until the official WWE Network launch in the UK at 8pm local time (3pm EST), the WWE Network Twitter account sent out this message:

The launch of @WWENetwork in the U.K. has been delayed until further notice.

— WWE Network (@WWENetwork) November 3, 2014

As you can imagine, fans are already flipping out on Twitter and at the unofficial WWE Network subreddit.

Utter disgrace. Is vince McMahon determined to destroy his network?
