While in-game, is it possible to create an Owned Broadcaster that isn't Internet? When I try to invest into creating one, I only get drop-down options for Internet PPV, Internet Commercial, Internet Free-to-Air, and Internet Subscription. Terrestrial and Cable types don't show up at all. I didn't see any mention of this restriction in the Developer's Journal or In-Game Handbook either.

When selecting the Tournaments button, the splash screen displays an actual (half of) tournament bracket. But once one is created, the reality is the column-style divided between pages. I'm a little surprised that there isn't an actual bracket to see an entire tournament on one singular screen. Even though a third-party program (or even the notepad) can be used instead, I think the brackets built in-game could be convenient and accessible, both for ongoing ones and to look at finished ones.

Yes of course, but the confusion came from the different terms in TEW. Initally, I thought free-to-air meant channels like that. But then I realized, the game is referring to the content itself (no commercials or sponsors), thus, local regional channels are free-to-air. Also confusing is the fact that the US doesn't have terrestrial anymore, but in TEW terms, those channels are considered terrastrial. I thought maybe they'd be instead lumped with the cable commercial channels. I have also never heard of a terrestrial PPV before. All PPVs ordered by phone were transmitted thru the cable box. Someone earlier said they ordered many WWE PPVs by phone, but, wouldn't that just be a signal sent thru the cable line and not broadcasted via antenna?

Aye, thank you for grouping it all. Despite needing a cable box here in the US, FOX and NBC etc would still be considered terrestial, then? Since you can access those without purchasing a service provider like Spectrum, Time Warner etc? And yeah, thanks everyone for the PPV clear up. I completely forgot that events weren't usually hosted on a always-on provider, but rather when the option is actually avaiable. So, in a real world mod, would the actual provider such as Spectrun and Time Warner be labeled as commercial pay-per-view? And the always-on providers such as HBO and Starz be labeled as commercial subscription? Also, for providers like HBO, where they have their internet subscription service and actual TV channel, multiple entries woukd have to be added in, in a real world mod?

<p>The new broadcaster types/styles is a bit confusing to me. Can someone provide real world examples of each one?</p><p> </p><p> Terrestrial is the main one I don't know. I always thought terrestrial was just a setup of antennas and a box, over-the-air. So, terrestrial free-to-air and terrestrial commercial makes sense. But how can there be a terrestrial subscription or a terrestrial pay-per-view? In CornellVerse, there's no terrestrial subscription broadcasters, and only 1 terrestrial pay-per-view broadcaster. Maybe, since I'm from the US, I'm unfamiliar with those?</p><p> </p><p> Because on a related note, in CornellVerse, there's only 3 cable commercial broadcasters. The vast majority are instead labeled as terrestrial commercial. Is this because Adam and most of the team lives in Europe and simply forgot about the US? Because here in the US, all of terrestrial got converted to cable boxes back in 2009.</p><p> </p><p> Also, cable subscription and internet commercial I can't recall any real world examples of. Cable subscription sounds a bit misleading, but, is that for individual channels not usually thrown onto a plan?</p><p> </p><p> Here's a list of everything for convenience sake. Note that I'm from the US and so other country examples might go over my head:</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li>Terrestrial Pay-Per-View | ?<br /></li><li>Terrestrial Commercial | I'm assuming is the Europe equivalent of Cable Commercial?<br /></li><li>Terrestrial Free-To-Air | I'm assuming is the Europe equivalent of Cable Free-To-Air?<br /></li><li>Terrestrial Subscription | ?<br /></li><li>Cable Pay-Per-View | HBO/Showtime/Starz, pricey PPV channels<br /></li><li>Cable Commercial | ESPN/MTV/FOX, the usual TV channels with advertisements between shows<br /></li><li>Cable Free-To-Air | Locally owned regional channels that don't have sponsors usually<br /></li><li>Cable Subscription | Specific TV channels that have to be bought individually?<br /></li><li>Internet Pay-Per-View | Fite, am not familiar with any other internet PPV services<br /></li><li>Internet Commercial | ?<br /></li><li>Internet Free-To-Air | YouTube/Vimeo/YouPorn, basically any website that hosts videos for free<br /></li><li>Internet Subscription | WWE Network/Netflix/Hulu, the usual popular streaming services</li></ul><p></p>
