ClayChucky (@claychuckyclay) reportedGiven how much we pay for @Foxtel it would nice to see more flexibility like the US version. Why dont we have incar camera choice, maps, timing screens? Why do we get the bog standard international feed with crap biased Sky commentary? Upgrade please or give us @Apple @F1
-
Bill Blakeney 🇦🇺 (@wablakeney) reported@Foxtel camera work for #AFLlionshawks is garbage!!
-
Craig Thompson (@CraigGFCConsult) reported@leighjones0212 @Foxtel Haven’t watched that show since he started hosting. And Lyon for Robbo was a poor trade as well.
-
troy b (@troy_be) reported@Saints1890 So he’s giving up the kangaroos gig. What about Foxtel. Poor Corey Parker got booted for him.
-
Darren Cope (@LandscopeInfo) reported@lui_zacher Lui pull the post down. It was a Foxtel error not a game day clock. ****
-
albert ross (@bermaguifishing) reported@Katzo60 @smh I know it’s hard in a small country to have meaningful competition but the lack of free to air broadcasts is really bad . The foxtel/kayo offering is pathetic for the money they charge
-
GWB (@GWB41570523) reported@_Stacey1987 The Foxtel and Seven gotcha lap dogs given the task of find some dirt, get the bonus, fail and you are gone.
-
Fine Cotton (@mr_finecotton) reported@Foxtel u say u provide the best entertainment & sport.... the latest series of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch premiered 19 May 2026 in the USA.... It's July & youre still not screening in Aust - why am I paying $100/mth for second rate service? @HISTORY @BrandonFugal
-
Crowdiegal (@crowdiegal) reportedRealistically Nine are the only FTA TV network that maybe could afford the World Cup rights. Ten would have to partner with Foxtel. Seven...no way could they do it not with AFL, cricket and maybe NRL on their network...they would be paying a lot for all three sports just there.
-
BigdogBRISVEGAS (@BigdogGC77) reported@Kjmac89 @gilby_gillard @kayosports Which means I’ll miss games But I refuse to pay $50 a month for a **** service I’m not sure foxtel is much better How much is fox?
-
Doesnt Matter (@wokeisacancer) reported@Foxtel I can’t believe your “support “ is only available Monday to Friday , are you serious ? Or does your monopoly mean you just don’t care ?
-
Teresa (@teresa_62) reported@NRL That’s ridiculous. That means our @Foxtel will increase. There are only a few teams that are watchable. Not worth it. Will cancel .
-
7️⃣Michael0️⃣ (@squeakee21) reported& how ******** are Foxtel justifying a 3 man commentary team of Howard/Reiwoldt/Ricciuto for a Saturday night game. Phoning it in now
-
Lewis Jones (@LewisJones38831) reportedAUSTRLIAN FOXTEL DOWN CANT WATCH THE SHOW WHAT ******** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Chris. ⚓️ (@mr_chitafa) reported@lozza929406 Foxtel were just as bad. Huddo spent the entire last quarter going on about it.
-
Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@LeagueFreak Kerry Packer believed you bid the maximum you can so if you loose to anyone else - you know they will be worst off than you. Foxtel knows it will lose half their subscriptions if they lose the NRL. And that means it will go broke because they already over paid for the AFL.
-
💧Elizabeth Marr (@JmarrMarr) reported@RhondaGarad @SBSOnDemand I was trying to remember when SBS started, was it commercial free like the ABC & then converted to a commercial network or was it always commercial? The fraudulent Foxtel told ppl pay this subscription fee for no adverts, that soon changed
-
antqld (@antqldbwog) reported@timellisau @Jousting_Sticks Never used Foxtel but I always assumed they deliberately made Kayo so ****** you had to pay the extra $$$ to use Foxtel and get extra features like 4k.
-
G. 🇦🇺🇮🇱 🦅🤘🏼 (@geraint266) reported@chadtownsend10 The trouble is Chad, the app is terrible and continually breaks down, if it didn’t do that there would be a lot less complaints. The price has gone up $20 on the last few years and the service hasn’t improved. I pay $107 a month to have Foxtel I can afford it, many cannot.
-
Mick (@Av_Gas2) reported@jake_w0405 @gilby_gillard @kayosports Yep. Use some remote bullshit to cancel a $40/ month subscription with kayo. Only other way to get your sport is via a “sports package” tacked on to a higher monthly subscription with Foxtel.💅🏻 Pricks.
-
Dingus wingus (@drewwharton) reported@catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.
-
The Steps (@mcnamara_team) reported@clarke3110 @bondiroosters Yep, Kayo is just the revamped Foxtel rip off. The AFL and NRL have let down the supporters, won’t be long until the attendance to games drops because the general lack of interest is.
-
Biscuitman (@biscuitman007) reported@Hugh_96 @balumbah I agree, as there's no accountability in RA. You can fail and fail again, and no transparency. My view is that 3 years after the RWC, when the money runs out, Foxtel will buy rugby for peanuts. Only then will it get fixed.
-
David (@Wallagootwobily) reported@Foxtel Never gave me anything after being a subscriber for 13 years. You turds.
-
Tanya (@wade396) reported@FOXTEL_Help please do not tell me you can’t answer me has I don’t have a picture like you did on Facebook. Spent 2 hrs with Tech support 35years customer cannot tape past the 29.6.26. Told someone more senior in tech would call today now nothing.
-
Milram 361 aka Nigerian Prince (@Milram361) reported@PieNorthern I know I pay overs for Foxtel but we have very few, aka zero problems watching sport. FWIIW
-
Kieran Bridge (@KieranBridge5) reported@sculls_6 Worst thing it did was ever leave Foxtel. Went backwards 10 years after that
-
bamberee/Bree (@bamberee) reportedFoxtel asking me if I’m sure I want to delete the two recordings of the game.. never been surer of anything. Would’ve deleted it even if we managed to scrape the win in at the end. #AFLTigersEagles
-
Stewart Noble (@Stewy_Noble) reportedHey when is the app coming for Android 17, can't log in for weeks now. Why am I paying you for no service? @Foxtel
-
Kaitlyn (@doublepiked) reportedFoxtel hasn't got a single nrl or afl replay available from this week. What a useless piece of **** this service is.
