  • boofguest adamguest (@boofguest) reported

    @BigOtrivia Carrol and Toovey are absolute idiots controversy corner was possibly the worst show to ever be aired on Foxtel they’re worse than the footy show in its final days but at least the footy show knew they were ****

  • journalistagen1 journalistagendas (@journalistagen1) reported

    @rcgkennedy Gus treat everyone he is talking with, too or about as if they are idiots. He is amazingly patronizing, a lot worse than I remember. Looking forward to getting back to Foxtel tomorrow #NRLSharksDragons

  • godemons27 Demonforce🌊🌊🌊#FBR (@godemons27) reported

    @3AW693 Foxtel Satellite does not support HD free to air channels while cable does

  • AuntyLF Leoni Freeman (@AuntyLF) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Credit where it’s due. Thanks to @foxtel technician, Chris, who finally installed #Foxtel where I wanted it notwithstanding previous guy, Olly, not being bothered to chase cable down through wall. Shame I had to pay additional installation but happy to have it where I want it.

  • DaveyHugs Davey Hugs (@DaveyHugs) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Interesting because the world feed when shown in clips on youtube was the correct camera angle (like every year) and different to the one we were viewing. It does seem to have also been an issue for other viewers in the USA for example.

  • CarbsM75 MichaelCarbone (@CarbsM75) reported

    Proper pre-game @ALeague punditry, and multiple camera angles. 🤩 Football never looked so good... Shame on Foxtel for letting it go in OZ #WELvWUN

  • grdn19 Gordon Farrer (@grdn19) reported

    @WestsTigers HELP!! I don’t have Foxtel or free-to-air. How can I watch this live using the @9Now app on my smart TV? Can’t work out how to do it. Doesn’t come up in the Live TV” section.

  • screamr Simon Ritchie (@screamr) reported

    @Foxtel Cancelling my account. Terrible service.

  • nacomie2 naomi ferguson (@nacomie2) reported

    @4lezanne @NBCOneChicago @WolfEnt On Foxtel it’s on the same day as it air in the US. If you don’t want the full service look at Foxtel now to watch on an iPad.

  • mariusmainridg1 marius@mainridge 1 (@mariusmainridg1) reported

    How many have noticed, payed attention or subscribed to Foxtel’s advertising here on Twitter? For me Foxtel is like Harvey Norman I’m never going there

  • KevinHiggins01 Kevin Higgins (@KevinHiggins01) reported

    @EmFrazer @MatchroomPool I subscribed to your app to watch snooker and pool. Watched the snooker and loved it. Next pool, so excited, but the let down. Because I’m in 🇦🇺 I can only watch via FOXTEL! Not happy. Put all sports on the app please.

  • DavidLeydon1 David Leydon (@DavidLeydon1) reported

    DISGRACE @Foxtel. You sent a techo to my 85 yo parents house who disconnected their phone & internet & then left. Now you’re giving us a hard time about when you’re coming back to fix it. Mum is in a wheelchair & Dad has the flu. THEY NEED THEIR PHONE & INTERNET. #abc730 #Telstra

  • Redoxiide Redoxide (@Redoxiide) reported

    @GoMeZCSGO @luuuc53 Yea pretty sure Foxtel owns kayo, it’s like their version of a streaming service from what I can tell. Only has sport.

  • TVLandLis Lis Clough (@TVLandLis) reported

    Hey @FOXTEL_Help - Ive just cancelled by subscription and need to return my set top box but the return label page keeps giving and Error Message. Help. Thanks

  • Lunamuu1 spaceraider (@Lunamuu1) reported

    Hey @FOXTEL_Help your are sending fraudulent charges to my account ? I’ve sent dms and tried to talk to customer service to no avail

  • Drew_1981 Drew Pearson (@Drew_1981) reported

    @Foxtel Something going on at your end as I can't record on my box (Error F321) and cant even access your website for guidance to fix it?

    @Foxtel A signal that doesn’t drop out all weekend. An upgrade from the original IQ box.

  • mikew9900 Michael Wright (@mikew9900) reported

    The incompetence of #Foxtel is unbelievable. For months they have kept emailing me somebody else’s bill. When I complain they claim it’s a privacy issue? and cannot correct the email. What a useless accounts team they must have.

  • hef_mark Mark (@hef_mark) reported

    @FOXFOOTY Such rubbish. I’ll drop my Foxtel subscription if you keep tweeting crap like this

  • screamr Simon Ritchie (@screamr) reported

    @CarolynButt @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help I’m about to if they don’t fix it straight away. I’m over it.

  • smaw1978 simon (@smaw1978) reported

    @ellymelly Speak fir yourself. I'm good with the ABC. Have a chat to Foxtel. They may be able to help you out with the government funds they're getting if your desperate to write and be a journalist.

  • JoeRoSurrentino Joseph Surrentino (@JoeRoSurrentino) reported

    @Foxtel the last 12-18 months of customer service from your company has been terrible. It has made me NEVER want to have foxtel again. Constant incorrect bills and the fact that I am currently an hour and 20 minutes into a 4th bill dispute this year. It's legit insane.

  • BrianJohnston24 Brian Johnston (@BrianJohnston24) reported

    @Foxtel we hate you with a passion. No service for a week now. We have called and been promised that a technician will contact us. But NOTHING

  • _J0EL_ Joel (@_J0EL_) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Brooks Koepka putting for eagle and foxtel go to an ad 😳. The worst part is he actually sunk it too. #PGAChampionship

  • Kyneee Kyneee (@Kyneee) reported

    How on earth is foxtel still around? We haven't had it for 18 moths. Just flicked through it at someone's house and it's garbage...

  • otr_alexander Alex J Hehr OAM (@otr_alexander) reported

    I thank GOD for Foxtel with the ability to fast forward through promo’s for that brain dead @BigBrotherAU How anyone with connected brain cells can watch it, let alone participate in beggars belief. @Channel7 stop treating ur viewers like idiots. #bad #TV #BigBrotherAU

  • ConcernedOutsi2 Concerned Outsider (@ConcernedOutsi2) reported

    @Foxtel Wild horses could not drag me over to watch this crap.

  • CarolynButt Carolyn Says What? (@CarolynButt) reported

    @screamr @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help Simon cancel your service. I cancelled mine. Got a smart tv with a few apps. Not missing it AT ALL. Their team kept hounding me asking me what they could do to keep me. Offered my my existing service for $29 a month which made me so mad!!
