    @captain_stavros @FOXTEL_Help Having the same problem with most of my HD channels. Also on cable

  • freocookster Freocookster ⚓ 🐀 💜 (@freocookster) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @Kop_this @freodockers @rupertmurdoch Hmmm, this I did not know. I haven't gone down this path since I lived in Melbourne and Foxtel was the only way to see Freo games. Kayo is $5 a month for Telstra customers.

  • pwh35491 Rob 🅰️ 🇦🇺🇮🇹 (@pwh35491) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hey there, we are getting a black screen when we hit the Netflix button on the remote. It subsequently doesn’t launch. Any known issue or remedy? Thx

  • Leepace02227709 Lee pace (@Leepace02227709) reported

    @Foxtel Why would I pay that much? Really poor value for money.

  • nickcahill9 Nick Cahill (@nickcahill9) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help any chance you can help my get my box working properly? Won’t change channel and keeps freezing? Other box is working fine and the remote has been paired. Also tried rebooting it?

  • whips_r_crackin Chris Miles (@whips_r_crackin) reported

    @Foxtel Except for when you lose EPL, Super Rugby, NFL Redzone and still increase subscription costs to your customers and never pass on cheaper sign-on deals to existing customers. It is a false statement, especially, “It’s never been easier...”, please!!!!!

  • P1ford8 Ford8 (@P1ford8) reported

    @Fox_Motorsport @Foxtel where is the Indy car on 506 *******

  • thegreatgenius Dave Jordan (@thegreatgenius) reported

    So after my Foxtel had been playing up they’ve finally decided to change me from cable onto satellite.... Cable was never compatible with the time machine but satellite signal is like it was designed just for me lol

  • MartinMckowen Marty McKowen 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪 (@MartinMckowen) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Given that the service was out for a period of time does this mean that our invoices will reflect this? Maybe one month without charge given the inconvenience?

  • gohawks03 Jane French (@gohawks03) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help hi team. I’ve been trying to work through issues on your chat function and it keeps dropping out. I got all the way to sending a pic of cables then nothing. I’ve had issues with my box for over a week now and not getting help. Last message was issue was resolved?

  • AussieTodd Todd Fuller (@AussieTodd) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I keep getting error code PE6003 please help me as I cant watch Foxtel go

  • tootsirootsie Nathan Malthouse (@tootsirootsie) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is a piece of ****. Worst customer service ever, a rip off and burns long time customers.

  • sharperstill sharper-still-sewer-rat-home (@sharperstill) reported

    @chaser And cancel your Foxtel subscription while you’re at it

  • MKhyentse Momo 🇦🇺 #IStandWithDan (@MKhyentse) reported

    @Foxtel No way would I ever support a Murdoch business.

  • LacombeMichelle Michelle Lacombe (@LacombeMichelle) reported

    @mehdirhasan @QueenbeeAxs It’s his shtick. He’s obviously getting attention for his bullshit. I’ve cancelled my FOXTEL subscription. I refuse to keep paying this *******.

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @Foxtel Save money by never subscribing to Foxtel

  • roosterjamez James (@roosterjamez) reported

    Is it just me or are the Foxtel commentators just not watching the game? Half the **** that is going on just isn't being explained lmao

  • P1ford8 Ford8 (@P1ford8) reported

    @Foxtel Where ******** is Indy car

  • whips_r_crackin Chris Miles (@whips_r_crackin) reported

    @Foxtel Except for when you lose EPL, Super Rugby and still increase subscription costs to your customers and never pass on cheaper sign-on deals to existing customers. I’d argue this is a false statement. Especially, “It’s never been easier...”, please!!!!!

  • Lone_Deranger_ Linley Jane ☠️ (@Lone_Deranger_) reported

    @Foxtel Why is there an outage in Reservoir in Melbourne and when will it be back on? It has been out all day

  • emmaalangdonn emma ✨ (@emmaalangdonn) reported

    @The_Mint_Man @Foxtel power outage at barber, coverage starts in a couple mins

  • b5h3p brendan sheppard (@b5h3p) reported

    @kayosports_help @kayosports_help appreciate the quick reply, just seems to be a never ending challenge to have this app work as it should. Can't afford Foxtel and Kayo seems to feel well short for AFL fans

  • Jessee0923 Jessee (@Jessee0923) reported

    Compared to last year, Foxtel is down approximately 267,000 cable customers, as its reported number is now 2.001 million. By comparison, at the end of 2016, the company had 2.8 million broadcast subscribers.

  • metalslaw Ian James Lake (@metalslaw) reported

    @F1 @Foxtel Live F1 onboards have shift up and shift down sound not in sync with shift lights. It's almost a 1/2 a second out... Is it really that hard for billion dollar companies to get such a simple thing right?

  • Slugasi Honorable Odin 👁T.Gamble (@Slugasi) reported

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel I left them 20 or less years ago because they were ****, & you guys still think they’re **** after 15/20 years putting up with them. That’s why they do nothing but Jack for you!😎

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @MFWitches ****, I was given twelve hours in Twitter prison for responding to a Foxtel ad by swearing at Rupert

  • joshthelad3 joshladd (@joshthelad3) reported

    @CDavidApgar Except with internet down can’t watch the A League as I have Foxtel Now so I need the internet..@Aussie_BB

  • westsport Lance Jenkinson (@westsport) reported

    @rpjward @JustinCondo @ESPNAusNZ The issue isn't the ice hockey. It's ESPN holding a stack of sports rights and not having enough Australian channels. It's a pity their college channels aren't available through Foxtel.

  • KonradMarshall Konrad Marshall (@KonradMarshall) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Watching a little Foxtel recap about the #AFLSaintsTigers game tonight, and I hear someone say “And then The King comes out and goes whack whack”, and a moment later I realise that ‘The King’ in this sentence is Richmond, and geez, I’ll never take this era for granted #GoTiges
