  @MrBlairHughes @LeagueUnlimited @kayosports That wasn't a Kayo issue that one, it happened on my Foxtel as well.

  Flinders Ranger (@FlindersRanger) reported 10 minutes ago

  thank goodness for @Foxtel and online services, because watching a local commercial TV “news” service (@9NewsAdel) that carries a football story as lead in the middle of a fuel crisis, is just not an option any more

  @bimmyjartel @FOXTEL_Help That’s it, isn’t it? They have no competition so they don’t care how they treat people. Like Australia Post. They don’t have competition, so they don’t care.

  Surprised Channel 7 didn’t choose to show Foxtel broadcast for an AFL milestone; Pendlebury breaking AFL games record. Not a Collingwood fan/supporter, but there are loyal Collingwood fans/supporters who only have access to Free to Air. Stupid move as usual from Channel 7. 🙄😒

  @Jousting_Sticks Of course it is, but consider the majority of your footy watchers are 10 cans or pots deep on the couch or at the pub, it’s hardly something they’re going to cancel their kayo or Foxtel membership over.

  @LeagueFreak If they lose the rights they're finished . the 4 billion they paid for foxtel sports next to worthless when more then half their subscribers move to the streaming service that has the NRL But... Stan & Paramount are serious in taking DAZN out of the Australian market

  @onepercentas I have never watched less games, and almost nothing of the AFL tv shows than I ever have before. Will be cancelling my Foxtel and not going again this year.

  @Timrides1966 @LaurenHeraldSun Research DAZN some more. They have a DAZN bet app OS incorporating I believe their streaming service & gambling in the same place. I expect to see a future where Foxtel only does sports. You may (depending on the Govt at the time) be able to bet on sports via the Kayo Fox app.

  never forget when my family had foxtel iq and my dad had every single episode of bar rescue recorded

  @RayJCapo79 @kayosports Reach that short arm into your deep pockets and come to the Foxtel side Pisano. Never seen a green circle in my life.

  Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported 25 minutes ago

  @TV_Blackbox The only losers would be DAZN (who own Foxtel and Kayo) and Nine (who own Stan) although if Nine keeps FTA rights it wouldn't be quite so bad for them.

  Frank (@FrankieJBroph) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Quartermain10 "Technical difficulties" don't cover the continuous stuff ups where we watching replays instead of live centre bounce contests. Very poor direction from Foxtel, should be 100% better for the subscription cost!

  @yagacrave like wtf do you mean it's on foxtel

  Mei-Ling Day (@Meilingday) reported 30 minutes ago

  @JFalleiro Jeepers. I try to cancel my foxtel and I have the retention department sending me emails, and them giving me deals I don’t want over the phone! I can’t escape them! I feel sad hearing all this. I genuinely do.

  Great now I have to pay for Foxtel again. This **** ain’t cheap.

  Brett Cox (@b_dog_78) reported 35 minutes ago

  @NicNegrepontis Foxtel is borderline unwatchable. Signal dropping in and out. There is no rain and not a breath of wind outside, so the “poor weather” excuse is not valid. Just a poor service all round.

  Jan (@bimmyjartel) reported 35 minutes ago

  @Sarcastic_Cow @FOXTEL_Help Costs keep going up and standard going down. Few years ago there would be maybe 2 or 3 replays for every club.

  Diane Richardson (@DiRichardson_) reported 42 minutes ago

  @RWBFooty Yes Channel 7 is ****, not everyone can afford Foxtel. 🤬

• 
  TITO (@TitoPerez89) reported 43 minutes ago

  @BinManIan Doesn't come as a surprise to me. I will clarify that I don't believe P+ product is better than Foxtel but more ⚽ viewers are watching as the cost of P+ is astronomically cheaper than Foxtel. I NEVER paid FT a cent instead I went to games and now I watch a LOT of AL games.

  @codenrl **** Phil gould he is a ****** . Cannot stand that we have too watch channel 9 coverage of the game , it’s so much better on Foxtel.

  @Xenosmilus4 @MisanthropeGirl Presumably you can stream to a Sky box as well as get satellite, but can you get it to use only as a streaming set top box? The equivalent here, Foxtel, just has an app for people who don’t want the satellite service, which means using a Firestick, Apple TV or the like.

  @realRick_AUS @LeagueScenePod Foxtel had him effectively sacked the week before too. I suppose they couldn't find a replacement. Dean Young will coach. Idk what the hold up is. They're a **** team. He should've gone after last season. Still not as bad a coach as voss and bead Scott tho

  Don't pay for any applications or subscriptions. Cancel netflix foxtel etc all streaming platforms we own the phone companies. Delete bank account & open a new one. Information will be readily available at the touch of a finger. You can i read any encyclopaedia or text book Free.

  @rohan_connolly @colonelhogans Don’t worry too much. Enduring the cats swans on Foxtel was painful. If it wasn’t Dwayne the pain talking ****, it was camera work which failed miserably. Absolute rubbish. Switch over to the pies game and you’ve gotta listen to back door Lyon and Howie. And the umpiring…pfft

  @hashjenni Foxtel is garbage now, they keep replaying the same crappy movies in a loop.

• 
  John Rheinberger (@RheinbergerJohn) reported 60 minutes ago

  @gavin_laing Streaming rights- both live and highlights -are more important than ever. Nine would like to retain (or gain) some exclusivity for live telecasts as Foxtel regularly beats it for viewers when games are simultaneously broadcast. Its product is that bad (put it down to commentary)

• 
  J Pipsam (@markdavaus) reported 1 hour ago

  @ranmasaotome96 Game of Thrones being locked down by Foxtel forced it. I would have bought day-of released episodes via iTunes or Xbox Video if given the option. But nooooo- had to go sign an exclusivity deal with Foxtel.

  @H_the_Strange @FOXTEL_Help And if you ring up you get someone from overseas who has no idea, offers you nothing and you get nowhere. If only there was another pay service to give them competition.

  @ItsPoletti foxtel chose 2 clubs that should have never have been picked before dumping the league & now one of them is statement fc

  Hey @Foxtel the next time I hear your AFL football commentators describe something as "elite", I will 1) Vomit and 2) Cancel my subscription. Enough of this repetitive garbage, I beg you. @AFL
