  • buntz3 THE BUNTZ# (@buntz3) reported

    @SarahBussian @AusAntiLeft I haven't watched free to air tv for 5 years. Foxtel news for 2 years. Never felt better.

  • pebbles1179 Pebbles 😷🇦🇺 (@pebbles1179) reported

    @IdRiskTheFall We only have Netflix and foxtel (which is 🇦🇺cable) Thinking of purchase another subscription for Breaking Bad

  • Mark_Young05 Mark Young (@Mark_Young05) reported

    Hey @Foxtel my mother keeps getting calls on her mobile from 0428636624 claiming to be selling Foxtel. I am assuming its an overseas scammer, as they hang up the second they hear my voice. Are their known scams going around?

  • TheRealPembo Michael Pemberton (@TheRealPembo) reported

    @garigalAnj @deniseshrivell @craigreucassel It removes Telstra / Foxtel as the sole retailer of that product, which encouraged Telstra to leave the copper network to rot.

  • TheDanAnimal TheDanAnimal🌈🐙🦇🐨ダン (@TheDanAnimal) reported

    Hey Australia: cancel your Foxtel and stop clicking on anything from The Australian or any other Murdoch publication. They're endangering the future of the planet.

  • The_Real_Joakim Kim Olsso (@The_Real_Joakim) reported

    @Alex_Pundit @DavidLeyonhjelm @JohnRHewson It's on FoxTel which is cable service none of these whiners would pay to watch. It's the animal farm syndrome.

  • EWalt81 Ed Walton (@EWalt81) reported

    @ToddJDavey @kayosports Not really. No interest in making it easier to view on TV as it would put Foxtel subscriber base at more risk. Probably the same reason it's the only streaming service that doesn't work properly on my Chromecast Ultra.

  • RedFromNZ Cam (@RedFromNZ) reported

    @markdavo4 Nah man don't have Kayo or Foxtel! Damn 😩

  • Uber331 Eastern Suburbs (@Uber331) reported

    @foxtel. A network of adverts with occasional very old crap programs!!!!!!

  • Maynardcomau Maynard (@Maynardcomau) reported

    @chipsareready @Foxtel George Washington was about to find Al Capones golf cart or something. Couldn’t watch the same KFC or bull crap cricket as again. I hope Benedict Arnold gets a promotion. He did well at Saratoga. Don’t tell me how it ends.

  • _BertHandsome Bert Handsome (@_BertHandsome) reported

    Gotta say, Foxtel have done a pretty good job with the cricket given most of it is being called from a studio in (I think) Melbourne. Usually calling sport off a monitor not being able to see out the window is *bad*, but you’d hardly know it here. #bbl10

  • rocky1622 Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported

    @LesStonehouse @couriermail @AnnastaciaMP Either know bad business or news Corp put out to all outlets to tone down on labour states who’s going buy papers or foxtel when all basis

  • indica2007 💧 The Noisy Toaster Villain (@indica2007) reported

    i need somebody who can paint a face i took down a old foxtel dish today will use the place for hills hoist but i wantto paint something on it and stick up at the road maybe make into sunflower

  • cpwilcock cpw (@cpwilcock) reported

    @LowNeville @Foxtel Awful

  • ASleepingLlama Llama 🦙❤🦜 Is now Lord of the boxes! (@ASleepingLlama) reported

    @PinkFluffyDrag2 @TabbyWesa @Ultima_Wielder Yeah for Australia it was on a cable service called Foxtel. So not free for us.

  • Felix786 Plants have feelings and I eat them (@Felix786) reported

    Wow the renegades win when we don't pay Foxtel and they took the sports channel away from me so I couldn't watch, rude. #bbl10 #GETONRED

  • Len_Jet Matt (@Len_Jet) reported

    Cancelled @Foxtel this afternoon after 10+ years. Never once offered any “loyalty” award & then when cancelling, typical offerings of discounts & free months aside, I was put on loud speaker for 20 minutes while my “contract was cancelled”. I let 10mins pass after getting /1

  • BrigyH Brigid Hardy (@BrigyH) reported

    @AdyLady9969 I think it is owned by Foxtel....so I am guessing that I shouldn’t subscribe if I don’t want to support Murdoch...

  • NYC4691 Christine (@NYC4691) reported

    @paulbrown73au @Richard_Schiff @Foxtel This was a travesty that they did that to Toby. No WAY Toby would have done that and it was horrible. This is well known.

  • junioraz Aaron Oman (@junioraz) reported

    Not being at the ground and commentating BBL is not working. @Foxtel #BBL2020

  • cat_fay Cat Fay (@cat_fay) reported

    The frustrating part of watching an A-league game followed by a W-league game is the shocking quality difference of broadcast & camera coverage. Absolutely terrible given the millions Foxtel have received for broadcasting. It markets the women’s game terribly. #ADLvPER #wleague

  • rach_bowen Rachel Bowen (@rach_bowen) reported

    @Foxtel there was a loud bang and now our Foxtel is recei no signal in Mooroolbark Vic. Any chance you know when it might be back?

  • benitorrance Ben Torrance (@benitorrance) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Foxtel @isaguha Why would you pay for a Murdoch service? Why help fund the cancerous Murdoch corporation?

  • VD0GE VD0GE (@VD0GE) reported

    Is @kayosports down for anyone else? I can't hit that sign in button on 3 of my devices. #kayo #kayosports #foxtel

  • samanthajg Samantha (@samanthajg) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Foxtel @isaguha Isa is fantastic and the only reason I have the sound up. Howie is ok I guess but the rest of them are terrible. The boys club is really tedious.

  • Dangerman_2 Col Smith (@Dangerman_2) reported

    @SkyNewsAust People dying will also affect the economy - good news if you're an undertaker or funeral director. Don't pay for the ignorant opinions the put on air at @SkyNewsAust - cancel your @Foxtel.

  • HolyDaprawn Sean Haren (@HolyDaprawn) reported

    Found the fix on the TV app. At your home screen, keep scrolling down until you hit the Foxtel live channels and just hit the Fox Cricket 501 channel. #BBL10

  • Matt__Barden Matt Barden (@Matt__Barden) reported

    @BradfieldThe @JacksonTaylorMP @ABCaustralia LOL cause the gov (taxpayer) gives no subsidies to 7,9,10 or Foxtel. You idiot. Just use Google. It ain’t hard.

  • radford1975 👏💦⏳Anthony Radford 🩺🔬🏥 (@radford1975) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Foxtel @isaguha Horrible. She is great.

  • steeldawn2012 stratos salamanis (@steeldawn2012) reported

    @RL__Talk @mj_lynch Yep and Murdoch even receives taxpayer money to help prop up Foxtel.
