  • 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

  • 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.

    @Foxtel Always looking to reward and attract new customers. Never ever do anything for loyal customers….ever!!!!!! Disgusting!

  • rscowen24 Robert Cowen (@rscowen24) reported

    @hendygolf @GolfAust @PGAofAustralia Once LIV is on something like TV (Foxtel/Kayo) then it will get more traction. While it's on YouTube people forget that its on . I know I do and the quality is poor.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • RealShaneTweets Shane (@RealShaneTweets) reported

    @binge_help I notice HDR wasn't mentioned, was that intentional? What stage is it at currently? The streaming service is Streamotion (you) and the rights piggies are Foxtel, both companies stream 4K now on both Kayo and Foxtel, so it's really just Binge customers missing out

  • 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....

  • AusGardner Marcia O'Neill (@AusGardner) reported

    @Foxtel Never will again. Murdoch gutter press.

  • peter_pankhurst Peter Pankhurst (@peter_pankhurst) reported

    @Foxtel Nah not getting any Murdoch crap

  • DJey1955 Daniel (@DJey1955) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports This has descended into the biggest crap show on tv, these blokes call themselves experts, FFS, not a chance

  • ThaiTuna KevinCharlton (@ThaiTuna) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports You lot are pathetic!! I’ve never seen a group of media ********* only happy to report scandalous bullshit!!

  • craigthomler Craig Thomler (@craigthomler) reported

    @Foxtel I will never pay money to a Murdoch owned media source. But feel free to waste money advertising to me.

  • MarianSaines Twiglet (@MarianSaines) reported

    @DerekRobinson2 @King2712King Have NEVER had Foxtel or read Murdoch rags.

  • 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.

    @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..

  • nznewser nznewser (@nznewser) reported

    Australia have a news streaming service called @FlashNewsAU. For AU$8/mth, Aussies can stream news channels like BBC World, CNN without needing Foxtel. Foxtel launched the site last year. Why doesn't @SKYNZ launch something similar? Fills a gap that Neon and SSN can't fill.

  • AlanA731 Alan Archibald (@AlanA731) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports AT&T stocks down 50% in 5 years, 20% this year. Start taking your holidays Hooper, the worlds finally had Jack of The Foxtel.

  • greengrasstoo Bill (2xAZ+1M+1P) 😷+💉+ 💦🤲 +🧍‍♂️↔️🧍‍♀️= 🚫🦠 (@greengrasstoo) reported

    @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.

  • BDelboy46 BigDelboy46 (@BDelboy46) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Buzz names 5 highly paid players at the Eels as reasons for issues,nothing about the rosters at Easts who never lose anyone and sign plenty,then again he doesn’t want to miss his lunches with Uncle Nick.His breathless opinions on fumbleball are becoming annoying,bought and paid.

  • ComicGuy105 Bartley Stacey (@ComicGuy105) reported

    @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.

  • WarrenJB3 Wazza (@WarrenJB3) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports **** only a week ago old Kunty was blasting Latrell for talking too much?! Make up your mind you weak gutted windsock dog

  • kevinperry Kevin Perry (@kevinperry) reported

    Was watching Funeral via BBC World channel on Foxtel. Picture quality was terrible. Decided to watch same channel via Flash app on Apple TV, much better quality HD.

    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 !

  • AdeleBunnies Adele Bunnies (@AdeleBunnies) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi, thanks for responding. We have been through this before (refer to the Twitter conversation from last month below yesterday's tweet). It is a Foxtel signal error causing incorrect time (clock is 8 hours ahead on Sunday evenings) not a problem with my STB. Thanks.

  • peterke60628957 peter kenny (@peterke60628957) reported

    @DerekRobinson2 I refuse to read any murdoch related newspaper or periodical, refuse to subscribe to and watch any murdoch affiliated streaming service - Foxtel, Binge, etc.

  • DanielM26372059 Bass Master Yoda (@DanielM26372059) reported

    @Foxtel Garbage! Reward your loyal customer base!!
