FOXTEL Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
bamberee/Bree (@bamberee) reportedFoxtel asking me if I’m sure I want to delete the two recordings of the game.. never been surer of anything. Would’ve deleted it even if we managed to scrape the win in at the end. #AFLTigersEagles
-
Craig The Speculator (@craigspeculator) reported@Foxtel to be fair it was probably an individual's response and not a common call but you would think it would be included in training to treat such instances with more sensitivity.
-
Surf n Turf (@surfnturfnsurf) reported@ParamountPlusAU the Chelsea wanderers game is not working through Foxtel app
-
bndt (@banditkayfabe) reportedThe audio on Kayo sounds awful and hollow but the audio on Foxtel is ok. What is going on thought my TV was playing up #AFLTigersHawks
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reportedHad to get. IQ5 replaced because it doesn’t have sound and the replacement one is doing the same. How bad are we treated by @Foxtel for the lousy bloody products at globally high prices. Going to make a ACCC complaint. Bloody useless
-
Jon Striker (@compaqfw22) reported@daveburke82 @SteveMascord I agree in a perfect world - but professional sport was changing in the late-90s and as great as a “1994 Winfield Cup with Foxtel showing the non-Ch9/2 games” would have been, it just would have left someone else to come in and offer a resolution
-
Kurt (@kurtjj95) reported@centralNRL Holy ****, we are finally close to being rid of Matt Thompson. Go on Foxtel
-
Gavin Shaw (@gavshaw69) reported@Foxtel What is considered a new customer? Someone who has never had Foxtel before. Someone who has not had Foxtel directly with Foxtel for over 10 years?
-
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.
-
Briggsy (@champingyon) reportedThe Foxtel commentary team for this Titans vs Manly game could be the worst of all time....
-
Cain O'Sullivan (@cainosullivan) reported@AFLNow I cancelled mine a few years back and switched to Foxtel instead... the Kayo service was terrible, always dropping out, but Foxtel is way better.
-
Milram 361 aka Nigerian Prince (@Milram361) reported@PieNorthern I know I pay overs for Foxtel but we have very few, aka zero problems watching sport. FWIIW
-
K•A•N•E (@kanethesaint) reported@KobieThatcher I'm still unsure how they measure how many people watch it as I've never seen a survey for it. Free to Air over Antenna is receive only as is Foxtel over satellite. I don't know many that watch FTA via the app.
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....
-
wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported@WSWanderingEels All those games where afl show multiple games on seven as one game, the Foxtel ratings would be awful. Guess we never know but I used to see some games getting 80k on Fox. On par with what a league and super rugby used to get
-
COOPS 😎 (@sportandracing) reported@LeagueFreak Foxtel don’t have any issues.
-
Leigh (@hinterland33) reported@sportandracing @AussieNinerGuy @footyindustryAU Um Yes AFL broadcast agreement with the Seven Network & Foxtel includes built-in annual indexation Compound Growth: The contract features an in-built indexation rate, which represents a compound annual growth rate of about 3.6% for the rights fees over the life of the agreement
-
The Steps (@mcnamara_team) reported@clarke3110 @bondiroosters Yep, Kayo is just the revamped Foxtel rip off. The AFL and NRL have let down the supporters, won’t be long until the attendance to games drops because the general lack of interest is.
-
Lloyd Duff (@Mike09127415) reported@YouTube @LolCowBasement @LolCowBasement Great Telstra flakes and Techy TV goes BYE BYE It makes me wish Richard would come out of my tv and do me in then at Foxtel "Well this sucks" "Yes Darling thats Aussie cable" then he does it again+ "WOW COOL I GOT WHACKED BY ELVIS I always wanted him" SHEESH
-
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.
-
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.
-
Adam (@AdamTurbil38435) reported@Markedw For the SBS to outbid the likes of foxtel or Amazon . If a publicly funded network can outbid paid services.. maybe it should be looked at
-
Renee Pope-Munro (@RenInOz) reported@Chris1qjt @ItWasATea I just looked up to see if it will be on Hayu here in Aus, and it's currently saying no, only on E network via Foxtel and their VOD services. So streaming on some dodgy site it is, I guess lol
-
Deb (@cDebIn2050) reported@DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad
-
Punt Road Ferraris (@sk44476342) reported@ZRistevski @rohan_connolly May have only been an issue on Kayo. I regret disconnecting Foxtel. Kayo sucks.
-
Corey Wright (Mr. CW) (@RealCOZZASAIDSO) reported@GrumpyPigeon @7plus Glad I recorded on Foxtel to watch properly. I thought it was a Copyright issue with the Doctor Who stuff. It actually has both audio/video messed up. Hopefully is fixed soon to watch properly.
-
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.
-
Kieran Bridge (@KieranBridge5) reported@sculls_6 Worst thing it did was ever leave Foxtel. Went backwards 10 years after that
-
troy b (@troy_be) reported@Saints1890 So he’s giving up the kangaroos gig. What about Foxtel. Poor Corey Parker got booted for him.
-
Don 🇺🇦🇦🇺 (@squizzy36) reported@MisinfoFact Who actually watches this stupid ****? I have Foxtel, and I'm repulsed that's it even on there!
