Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 But at least you can download Real Alternative to watch it, I'll put up the link if someone wants it and I can find the address Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silence 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 The "click and watch" method on Real Player doesn't sound too great to me. That means when I'm waiting for the stream to go all the way to the end while I'm watching the first part of it, my 56K connection might disconnect on me later on and then I'll have to start all over again. I'd rather have a download link that I can copy into my download manager so I'll be able to watch all of it (not a file that takes forever, though). Fucking bad idea, TNA.

Now, all they have to do is beef up the syndicated network. On the plus side, this week's line-up looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 I've got to give TNA credit here. I watched the show at about 4:10 (when traffic will most likely be highest) and didn't have any problems. It didn't even buffer once. So this move was a good one for TNA (the deal with Real) and will be a suitable solution until they get TV. I wonder if it would have worked as well had I been using dial up, but that's the only problem I can really see. And I thought it was a good show. The storylines are moving in a good direction. They did a good job making the left-field Daniels/Williams match make sense and I like the idea of building of Daniels as an international superstar and of building Williams up as the leader of Team Canada. And I'm stoked about the Styles/Waltman match. They did a good job of almost reprising Lynn's role as AJ "tough love" mentor with Waltman and having Lynn involved makes it even better. Even the Hoyt/Rude feud is clicking. I'm sure we'll be seeing a six man either on Impact or the PPV after the Naturals made the save for him. And of course, Raven's promo was gold and got me ready for his match with Abyss. I absolutely loved the fact that the Abyss/Siaki match wasn't a squash. We all knew Abyss was going over, but when they came out, I wasn't expecting them to go more than 1 minute, but I was surprised they went almost 5. It made Siaki look stronger, which they can use as they try to build a midcard around more than Hoyt and Rude, and made Abyss look like a real main eventer by winning a competitive match, which people who don't order the PPVs haven't really seen. This is shaping to be the best overall line-up TNA has put on PPV since probably Turning Point. So all in all, good format and good show TNA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may have to get it taped tonight like I said, or maybe find a download link somewhere (it may not be likely this time around, though). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 I was thinking about that because I'll probably be back to using dial-up soon. Well, it's usually available for download on the TNA fan forums. There's a guy on there who's been offering it even when it was still on FSN. I'm sure it'll be up after it airs on Sunshine Network tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HandofFate 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2005 yea....gotta find a download link for it. I am stuck with dial-up, so I will be screwed. I will say this. There is a program called Hi Download. It lets you save files that get streamed to your computer. If someone with a good cable connection would do that and share it (maybe a torrent...), that would rule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
