24/7 Online Kinda sucks

Recommended Posts

The selection is great don't get me wrong, and its a steal at 4 dollars to see all these matches. I expected better quality from a big company like WWE. I mean, I wasn't expecting Divx quality here, but some of this stuff is almost unwatchable, especially when there is a lot going on.

 

Also, how does a 12 year old match like Flair/Perfect look so good, yet matches like Angle/Benoit and Michaels/Jericho from only 2 years ago look so shitty, with the latter being almost unwatchable. I also found Vader/Michaels and the Bret/Shawn screwjob match to be of unwatchable quality as well.

 

Oh, well, 4 dollars, you get what you pay for. I did get to see some matches that I had never got around to seeing, like Wargames '91 and Steiners vs. Sting and Luger. I do, however, feel sorry for anyone who plopped down 40.00 for this.

 

I give 24/7 a 6 out of 10.

If you sit 2" away from the screen, some of the stuff may not look great. But from any kind of distance, everything I've seen looks A-OK w/ me.

 

Plus, if you're transferring from the jukebox to the WMP, make sure you close the jukebox quick because otherwise it's going to come in very choppy and pixelated.

Yeah, usually I just watch it from my bed, but the pixelation isn't what gets on my nerves. I tried last night and this morning what you suggested, but it still doesn't work. Benoit/Angle was good, but sometimes they started blurring once one of them started running. I don't know, I'll fool around with it. Should I upgrade to WMP 10? I have 9 point something now.

This sounds like something that should have gone into the current 24/7 thread.

 

I was, but I thought I'd get more comments by starting a new thread. It's not THAT big of a deal, is it?

For some reason, some of the Smackdown matches I've seen run at about 294kbs while most everything else is around 300-310kbs. I have no idea if this makes any noticeable difference or not though. I don't think upgrading your WMP will make a difference but that's just a guess.

I gave up on it like 3 days into the free Taboo Tuesday month (November) due to non-stop buffering...

You must have a crappy connection then. I've been on 24/7 Online since last March and never had any buffering at all once the video starts.
