    **** this, I'm going out today to spend $3k on a media setup. I'm going back to just pirating TV/Movies. It's not because I am not willing to pay, its I am tired of paying subscription services and having everything so fragmented and being Nickel and Dimed by the services. When we worked on HD Streaming in the 2000's we set the foundation up for the industry to make video possible more easier. Even back then convincing Hollywood / TV Networks to abandon physical media for streaming was a huge undertaking in itself. They just were ******* in contracts with the creators of content and couldn't find a way to make online work. Fast forward 20 years later and this is the **** we end up with. It literally is just easier to pirate than its to keep doing this. atm I pay for: HBO Max Stan FoxTel Primewire Paramount Netflix Disney+ BritTv (i forgot to cancel the trial fml) AppleTV+ Its about $160 a month AUD I can't find half the **** i want to watch and the stuff that I want to watch is full of ads, or you have to then pay extra ontop. I'm out. stfu ... I'ma use AI to setup a complete end to end media experience.

    @tayser82 I believe Foxtel used as much power as a town the size of Lithgow when it first setup in Macquarie Park but, no, that wasn’t a problem

    @OMGTheMess Hahaha. Yeah televise women’s sport. That was proven to be bs. That’s what they ‘claimed’ it was for. And estimates proved not a single additional women’s sport was televised. Also Foxtel never even asked for the money or reported what they did with it. $40m given away.

    @A1dynRL @ALeagueHQ Many issues with the A league, its promotion and its coverage. Love to know the audience on paramount + vs Foxtel days… quality of marquee players has gone down hill and it just lacks the spark it had when Melbourne V Sydney on multiple times packed marvel stadium back then

    @centralNRL Watching the games on the Ch9 1080i broadcast is horrible viewing vs Foxtel true HD and 4k. It just can’t be awarded back to @NRLonNine on this basis alone, with their complete disregard for the @NRL fans viewing experience. Commentary is fine, but low res is just rubbish

  • StassyGee

    @PhilGould15 Sir, could we please look at starting our own channel to watch just our own games? I'm tired of giving those sour ***** at Fox my money. After listening to Voss and whatever the other has been's name is, I'm ready to cancel Foxtel after 20 yrs.

    @catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.

    @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.

    @MichaelPascoe01 NRL before the kids. It’s directly related to Foxtel and Nine's broadcast rights with the NRL. Non gambling Advertising revenue is down so the only income these mobs will get for the footy is from Gambling. If labor bans Gambling ads the NRL won’t get same the money for the deal

    @FkYeahMatt Is it really? Or is it a Foxtel rebroadcasting service? Channel 504 showed the Swans game then the AFLW international.

    @landry235 I very much think, Sue, that you and I are in the same 'Club'. I'm having a terrible time at the moment. I'm staying with Mum in Sydney and frankly, I think I'd feel more welcome and comfortable in a morgue. These things were sent to test us. And that reminds me: on my 50th birthday I hadn't heard ANYTHING from Mum by 5 in the afternoon, so I decided to phone her instead. She answered the phone in a foul mood and said she couldn't talk right then because she was having trouble with setting the Foxtel box to record the news! And then she hung up 🙄🙄🙄

    @MikeCarlton01 I watched a few episodes of "The Mansion" (an ABYSMAL sketch comedy show he co-hosted on Foxtel) & as such have always been "triggered" by him. I thought it was me, but nah he sucks. Grace Tame is a deadset legend.

    @footyindustryAU Can i ask a stupid question? Why did Dazn need to buy Foxtel? Why couldnt they just save there cash and bid for the rights of the NRL, AFL when it comes up etc? I mean Foxtel (Fox Sports) are worth nothing without the rights in the first place?

  • squeakee21

    & how ******** are Foxtel justifying a 3 man commentary team of Howard/Reiwoldt/Ricciuto for a Saturday night game. Phoning it in now

  • sandylanceley
    Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported

    @ROBUNS @Channel9 @wwos There was some talk about that, but I haven’t seen confirmation. A big problem though is there’s limited space to broadcast a higher bitrate which Foxtel producing it couldn’t fix.

    Tom Garner (@tom_garner) reported

    “There might be a change in broadcasters” Reading in far too much: - “might” - All on Sky on table? - No BBC? Bad IMO - huge reach. Unless ITV want it to add to rugby pfolio - On Pay TV. DAZN? Owns Foxtel so aligned with NRL, but £26 pm. TNT? Not the same production quality

    Foxtel hasn't got a single nrl or afl replay available from this week. What a useless piece of **** this service is.
