    @Nash076 Australia’s history with international TV shows and movies has always been a pretty awful one. Until recent years we used to have to wait months for movies to come out here. And as for TV it was even worse before streaming because Rupert Murdoch‘s Foxtel had a monopoly on pay TV.

  • cesvargas_mv JuanAngel (@cesvargas_mv) reported

    @Foxtel Why's so expensive your service?

  • CieslakStephen Slug33 (@CieslakStephen) reported

    @ssarah607 VPN for ESPN+ Or if you have foxtel (proper) you can use this login to get into the espn app in Australia and access all games. Its clunky, can only watch on a phone, but does get you games....

    @Foxtel Always looking to reward and attract new customers. Never ever do anything for loyal customers….ever!!!!!! Disgusting! If it wasn’t for the AFL in 4K and NBA you would be long gone..

  • MarkParisWill MPW101 (@MarkParisWill) reported

    @Foxtel Never. Take your Murdoch fascist service and stuff it up your bum!

  • DanielM26372059 Bass Master Yoda (@DanielM26372059) reported

    @Foxtel Garbage! Reward your loyal customer base!!

    @RachieCorey The last I heard it will be on ESPN which you can access on Foxtel or Kayo. I don't have either. I previously tried casting Kayo to TV but it was VERY prone to delays & buffering. Found it more frustrating than helpful, so won't be going down that path again.

  • 357rounds Mr .357 (@357rounds) reported

    Foxtel really made a streaming box that doesn't support BINGE, their own streaming service (HBO Max)

  • themann Jonathon Mann (@themann) reported

    @Foxtel The App is slow as hell on my iQ4 set top box practically unusable, takes forever to browse for things

  • freyalogann north drip account (@freyalogann) reported

    @tresantes Foxtel box Basically runs like a smart tv l. it has Netflix, iview etc but you have to login with your own details

  • FreoPunter Michael-G (@FreoPunter) reported

    @DanielM26372059 @Foxtel Have you ever tried cancelling your service with them? It’s amazing how **** gets much cheaper when you tell them you want to cancel. But I got rid of Foxtel years ago and will never go back to them. Channel packages are full of filler, lots of crap nobody wants.

  • kevcabana Kevin (@kevcabana) reported

    @gomichild @SharonAlger @emma__jayne14 I need it all. FTA Foxtel Disney Netflix Stan Paramount Prime Binge Apple Kayo Optus sport. I don’t go out. I suffer social anxiety quite badly. So I stay at home. Work from home, and watch lots of crap.

  • DidYaEvaNotice Justin Õb§ėrvàtion. The Nëw Wõrld Órder is early! (@DidYaEvaNotice) reported

    A new @Foxtel box arrived last Friday. Today went to install. Got a text, our account was frozen BECAUSE WE HADN'T ACTIVATED IT. After 5 days? WTF? Rang @FOXTEL_Help and they reactivated it. All the while I could hear her chicken crowing in the background. Very professional !

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports All those points didn’t help the chin in SoO 3

  • macris_michael Michael Macris (@macris_michael) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Paul Kent is spot on . But Braith Anasta is way out of his depth as host of #NRL360 . Too many errors . Last night (Wednesday) episode he said that’s the show for this week Etc but there was always an episode tonight (Thursday) . Bring back Ben Ikin.

    @FOXFOOTY @Foxtel @kayosports Who? Oh some crap international pop artist

  • drfronkensteeen claire | this experiment works (@drfronkensteeen) reported

    Mr Niell has been attempting to sell me foxtel on my TL for months now and he will never succeed in the sale but we will succeed as he always has in generating a myriad of bespoke carnal illusions within the dank recesses of my mind

  • CambionKami 🩸🍇Cambion Kami🍇🩸 AUS🇦🇺Vtuber (@CambionKami) reported

    @abschlachten bruh I have never been rich and had Foxtel as a kid

  • Iraodium Ludwig (@Iraodium) reported

    @Foxtel Paid for service that has more ads than free to air TV. What a joke. I wouldn't take Foxtel even if I was offered a free life time sub.

  • mikolbin mikolbin (@mikolbin) reported

    Two weeks ago, I recorded the film ‘Two Faces of January’. Sat down to watch it today. Turns out I recorded the 2006 movie ‘The Queen’ with Helen Mirren. Blame Foxtel! (Movie not too bad!)

  • Stray2617 Stray (@Stray2617) reported

    @Foxtel If I cancel and sign up again do I get this? Or am I better off cancelling and not signing back up because existing customers get shafted?

  • peggymel2001 Peggy Sanders (@peggymel2001) reported

    @RobWalls16 @MainBeachMick The recent $4.5billion media rights contract with Seven, Foxtel excluding others from most sports coverage, including ABC, has privatised sport and misuses sports people as their collateral for sale. Getting close to the Roman colosseum ideology purpose. Dumbing down population.

  • ComicGuy105 Bartley Stacey (@ComicGuy105) reported

    @Nash076 And even with streaming we still have to put up with Rupert Murdoch. Years before even the Discovery merger Warner media licensed all their stuff exclusively to his streaming service “Binge’ probably an extension of HBO‘s exclusivity to Foxtel. so you can’t get three of him.

  • DrewBoyd15 Scooby Drewbie Drew (@DrewBoyd15) reported

    @1WingedElite i just got WWE network again,is NXT on a week delay because of foxtel?

  • Gargy2 Margaret Ludowyk (@Gargy2) reported

    @Foxtel Never. The Murdochs should go home to the USA and stay there

  • journalistagen1 journalistagendas (@journalistagen1) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Why don’t they talk about why the salary cap hasn’t been finalized. It absurd that clubs have to put together squads without knowing the cap. But I suppose that would mean they would need to criticize Vlandy, which his media mates would never do.
