the cat (@boogiecat11) reported@LeagueScenePod Paying fans that get kayo or Foxtel shouldn’t be forced to watch grand finals and origin games on a **** free to air with commercials.
-
Craig The Speculator (@craigspeculator) reportedsad example of corporate greed - ring @foxtel to cancel my mother's Foxtel as she has passed away. No offer of sympathy on her passing from the operator but he did among other formalities ask if any other family member would like continue with the contract.

Stewart Noble (@Stewy_Noble) reportedYo Foxtel, every bloody time android updates you're way behind. Why am I paying a bill for a service I'm not receiving? I'm even on your beta test and you're still slow. I'm relying on your app on holiday ATM and nothing! #freebills @FOXTEL_Help

David Lloyd (@zzzLLOYDYzzz) reported@GMCoops @leighjones0212 @Foxtel I’ve got a real good guy in USA and never buffers
-
bomber_stu (@stu0508) reported@terrypunter5 @kayosports Hmm. That shouldn't be giving you too many issues. I admit I switched from Foxtel to Kayo a while back to save some $$. My Kayo experience was also very poor, to the point I couldn't stand it and had to switch back
-
Ray Gatt (@Gatty54) reported@Foxtel are there any issues with Foxtel atm? Can’t access. Keep getting the rotating circle
-
Jan (@bimmyjartel) reported@Pivotonian1838 @10 @FOXFOOTY Ditto. Foxtel is becoming quite dear. We'll hang onto it because of the footy but they don't reward you for being loyal.
-
Frumpy (@Frumpy45) reportedGood goal, too bad we missed it because Foxtel are obsessed with showing replays of absolutely nothing #AFLLionsHawks
-
Dr G (@DrG2020V) reported@GregDavis006 Imagine the poor ***** who don't have Foxtel and have to watch channel 9 for all their footie all year! I'd just stop.

Craig (@staggy33) reported@IWonderWhyNow @Foxtel Like ffs, Carlton made it a 3pt game & the 1st thing kingy mentions is that Daicos has been on the bench for a few minutes....... *******.
-
patty (@patty123_45) reported@SportMoments0 You do realise the population has more than doubled in Melbourne since the 80s.. and there are more games. Crowds are down, without the Foxtel deal the AFL would be broke
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Kate3015 Just like Foxtel, AGL, & others do, the broken English is so difficult to deal with most times
-
T158 (@trobb158) reported@ColettaFrank @Gatty54 Foxtel are flooding their ‘crap’ programs with the cringeworthy ads for the circus at the White House, calling it the greatest sports event in history.

-
Teresa (@teresa_62) reported@NRL That’s ridiculous. That means our @Foxtel will increase. There are only a few teams that are watchable. Not worth it. Will cancel .
-
Mike David (@illhp_mike) reported@thebigjohnnyd @MercJestr I had recorded something on my Foxtel box, came back to watch it and it wouldn't play it because they no longer had the rights to it. FFS not asking you to keep streaming it, but let me watch what's recorded. This never happened back in the olden days when I recorded to a VCR

John Davidson (@johnnyddavidson) reportedReported in The Courier-Mail today: The NRL’s plan to save Super League could be on the brink of collapse in what would be a devastating blow for the English game. The ARLC has been investigating a Super League rescue package for the past year, but it’s understood UK broadcaster Sky Sports is reluctant to come to the party with a palatable deal to satisfy the NRL’s investment strategy. There are suggestions DAZN, which now owns Foxtel, could support a Super League rescue package after former NRL CEO Andrew Abdo travelled to the UK in April for Super League buyout talks.  The Super League could be in trouble. Picture: Alex Livesey/Getty Images But V’landys says the Super League deal could hit a deadend. That would be a potentially fatal blow for an ailing English game which is drowning in debt. Super League giants St Helens lost $6.5m alone last year. “Look, we’re trying to make the figures work at the moment, but unless the figures work, we won’t do it,” he said. “We’re having trouble making the figures work, that’s the truth of it. “I don’t know what will happen. I find it very tough (to proceed with a purchase). “We need to talk further with Super League. We haven’t put a proposal into them yet. “We understand the importance of the international game, so we’re not giving up.”

mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@Optus @alexblair_1 First thing I would check is Alex on Kayo or Foxtel? Everyone complains about Kayo I constantly have issues with Foxtel through the internet continuously buffering while my download speeds are in the 80s!
-
James Jones (@JamesyJones) reported@OMGTheMess Coalition also handed out $40m to Foxtel. Complete and utter scam. Cash for comment each and every night. There was no tender, no conditions and no reporting. All to a subscription service that cheerleads them every night. But the Right don’t dare bring that up.

yoelmonaro (@yoelmonaro) reportedAlso btw wtf was the ticking sound @Foxtel in the first 18 mins of the Panthers v Tigers coverage?
-
Matt McDermott (@MattMcDermott74) reported@vanOnselenP I wasn't poking fun at you just using a factual example . If this game was on Foxtel / ABC its a non issue .
-
Gibbo (@Gibbogibbo123) reported@FSAAustralia @Craig_Foster As it stands today; Tv deal till 2029 (1 game free to air) light years behind Foxtel deal Licensing deal till 2024 re P/R - can this be changed? Salary cap 3m (2010 - 2.55m) Crowds down for 8 of 12 teams last year (scheduling, ticket prices, ground locations - what to fix asap

Gus Lefty Aussie Patriot (@GusLefty) reported@NadiaWa35758056 Remembering at the time Murdoch Foxtel was a satellite 'service'. Murdoch did not want a good high speed internet as it would 'damage' his Foxtel

troy b (@troy_be) reported@Saints1890 So he’s giving up the kangaroos gig. What about Foxtel. Poor Corey Parker got booted for him.

Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@SnoogThe Like all these events that “just happen”, if you’re at the ground listening to sports ear of the ref it’s normal after repeated warnings from the ref. Atkins lets things go for a couple times and then says something like “you’re on your last warning”, and then you get these “weird” decisions. I don’t like it - but it doesn’t shock me like it once did. If the NRL were serious about transparency, everyone should be able to receive a ref mic commentary on Kayo instead of the garbage we normally are subjected to recently. Foxtel had this in the mid 2000’s with just crowd mic sounds and the ref. It was great because it felt like you were at the ground.
