-
GrumpyOldDad.bsky.social (@BjWittwer) reported@xskinn Save your sanity. Screw Rupert Murdoch. Cancel anything through Foxtel, especially the fictional program โSky Newsโ. If you want something more factual than Sky News, I recommend Nieghbours, Home & Away, Days of our Lives, & importantly, Bluey. #SaveOurABC #FuckBillionaires
-
Leon (@LeonOnTheRadio) reported@MrBlairHughes @LeagueUnlimited @kayosports That wasn't a Kayo issue that one, it happened on my Foxtel as well.
-
wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported@centralNRL He used to talk down the value of the nrl tv deal every time it was up for renewal when he had a job at Foxtel. Even they got sick of him
-
Tom Baker (@Duckimusprime) reported@Sam957063743921 @jamesxclean @jarrodwalsh That would've meant a lot, not Foxtel deciding to broadcast his emotional reaction. If you want to see how bad a call that is watch the Crows post of the moment, where they cut Jordan out.

Adrian Sal (@adriansal80) reported@2_Blue_Baggers @SC___Scout I've had Foxtel since day one, in fact I remember getting galaxy when it first came to Australia. Have never used Kayo and would never use Kayo.
-
AKoz9 (@Koz9A) reported@RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.
-
Brython (@Brython14) reportedHey @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

Scott (Human) - ๐๐แ๐ไนไน๐๐ (@Dorizzdt) reported**** 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.

I argue with ret@rds (@odden56) reported@JamColley I've had Kayo for a week after ditching my Foxtel IQ My Google Streamer is connected through Lan, 500/50 Kogan FTTP I have absolutely no issues with Kayo, quality is actually better than IQ4 4K
-
Scotty ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฆ๐บ (@Scotter68) reported@NorthBankNadim @SkySports I totally agree with this thatโs why Iโve pulled the pin on my Sky subscription recently as they have stopped low with this type of hater โฆSky sports news has definitely gone down hill I even used to watch it in the 90s in Australia on foxtel
-
JAMpresident (@JAMpresident) reported@HostShinyoku @LesniakAndrew42 @kazakura_22 Game of Thrones is a great example. When it was on air, Australia was a massive pirate of the show. People were downloading torrents. Why? Because the only way to watch was with a ******* Foxtel subscription (cable TV contract). Everyone said **** that.
-
nat โ (@catwsfiIm) reported@gimmieghostie foxtel not letting me down for once
-
Carl Raymond ๐๐๐ (@CarlSparre) reported@ruicharadrius Wifi here is like wifi anywhere, afaik. Perhaps you mean bandwidth. For that problem blame the government that thought fibre to premises was overkill. Turnbull, under the thumb of Murdoch who was protecting Foxtel. We donโt hate Murdoch enough.
-
RJHtweets (@RJHampson01) reportedTodayโs customer service cvnts winner is Telstra. 2.5 hours on the chat line to just cancel an internet Foxtel connection which they stuffed up and then gave me the Indian Call Centre shuffle. OH we undertaken your frustration bullshit. We deserve better service from Australians.
-
JT (@Tanswell87) reportedI hate watching on nine but **** foxtel and Kayo. Go hard nine.
-
a สโขอโฑโขอส (@haebae69) reportedand i need to find out how im gonna watch it cause i am not paying like 60 bucks a month for foxtel **** that๐ญ๐ญ
-
Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported@Tuxy81 @Raiders_24Sep89 Youโre both kinda correct - if no FTA network bids, then the rights can go exclusively to Pay TV - but in this instance we know a FTA network has made a bid, so Foxtel/DAZN are compelled to find a FTA partner
-
yoelmonaro (@yoelmonaro) reportedAlso btw wtf was the ticking sound @Foxtel in the first 18 mins of the Panthers v Tigers coverage?
-
Daniel james Vogel (@djv0073) reportedDon'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.
-
immy โจ (@thatstheglue) reported@yagacrave like wtf do you mean it's on foxtel
-
Mark Fawcett (@mfawcett1977) reported@Tuxy81 These streaming companies will never learn. Prices here in Australia are more than the Foxtel everybody replaced them with. Streaming was meant to be cheaper than cable, but here we are.
-
Karen (@Kazza2014) reported@7AFL I hope so or Iโll be going down the pub to watch Foxtel.
-
Alice Stewart ๐ฆ (@Theretributor) reported@Ryandally08 Tony Abbott was made leader by his old mate Rupert Murdoch in order to put a very slow third rate internet system into Australia so it would not render his Foxtel by satellite service as being useless. Rupert has since sold Foxtel.
-
daleo (@v4daleo) reported@MotoGP why do I actually give you money ? Your app coverage is **** and completely inconsistent. No functioning service . Cancelation request incoming. Guess Foxtel gets your money now.
-
Rock Sniffer (@SniffRocks) reported@Raiders_24Sep89 We need Foxtel not to own it kayo is garbage & will cost $500 a year soon for a tax payer subsidised sport. Channel 7 & 9 split coverage, ad free games on stan or similar
-
Mike Oxbig (@Manbearpigzebra) reportedNever thought iโd have a phone call with anyone as absolutely useless as @Foxtel All I wanted was a replacement box, it took 1 hour to reach that conclusion. They were supposed to call me back 3 days ago and never did, this was me calling them a second time. 1/2
-
๐ค Racin' Joe ๐๏ธ โซ๐ดโซ (@Twittter_Suks) reportedJust one replay so far on Foxtel. Good. Too bad there have been 100's of replays of Elijah Hollands. Not all injuries are visible.
-
Greg1956 (@Greg19562) reported@Ryandally08 I want sky news detached from foxtel dog ****!
-
Tim Smith (@tim_smith1981) reportedWorst on ground today goes to @FOXFOOTY. Very piss poor effort especially given the recent price increase by @Foxtel #afldonspies
-
Squiddy (@Aquae_Sq) reported@robb_j_m Making it useless and bad was the primary purpose of the 2013 Abbott government. Almost certainly at the behest of Murdoch, as it would hurt his Foxtel business.
