Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Joc (@cookivirus) reported@C1_1RIS As an international fan, I find it ridiculous that the entire season isnt broadcasted by the same company But it also isn't my problem cuz foxtel broadcasts the whole season
-
Nigeyboy (@Nigeyboyl7do) reported@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.
-
T158 (@trobb158) reported@ColettaFrank @Gatty54 Foxtel are flooding their ‘crap’ programs with the cringeworthy ads for the circus at the White House, calling it the greatest sports event in history.
-
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.
-
@The_Tony 2023 🏆 (@the_tony) reportedFoxtel must be desperate to sell tickets for the Fredumb 250 UFC disgrace, poor old Gerard has to keep pushing the broadcast at every commercial break.
-
Darren Cope (@LandscopeInfo) reported@lui_zacher Lui pull the post down. It was a Foxtel error not a game day clock. ****
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reportedMy god I thought Foxtel was bad till I joined @PrimeVideo . Fu king disaster company this one
-
wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported@WSWanderingEels All those games where afl show multiple games on seven as one game, the Foxtel ratings would be awful. Guess we never know but I used to see some games getting 80k on Fox. On par with what a league and super rugby used to get
-
Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@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.
-
bndt (@banditkayfabe) reportedThe audio on Kayo sounds awful and hollow but the audio on Foxtel is ok. What is going on thought my TV was playing up #AFLTigersHawks
-
Lloyd Duff (@Mike09127415) reported@YouTube @LolCowBasement @LolCowBasement Great Telstra flakes and Techy TV goes BYE BYE It makes me wish Richard would come out of my tv and do me in then at Foxtel "Well this sucks" "Yes Darling thats Aussie cable" then he does it again+ "WOW COOL I GOT WHACKED BY ELVIS I always wanted him" SHEESH
-
Nat Geo (@___Geo__) reported@kayosports how do you expect people who live in remote Australia to be able to watch any live sports? These restrictions are absolutely ridiculous and anti consumer. The only way I can watch anything that Kayo has access to is by paying full price to a Foxtel service box?????
-
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 .
-
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
-
mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reportedFoxtel will keep increasing the price until they can force all their satellite subscribers over to Kayo so they can close down their superior but more cost expensive satellite services. They want to close all the none sport services & eventually Incorporate gambling options
-
Jason W. (@The_real_J_Web) reported@ReadingThePlay My stream looks like your picture. Terrible stream tonight. Any movement is jittery and awful. @Foxtel need to do better.
-
mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@Optus @alexblair_1 First thing I would check is Alex on Kayo or Foxtel? Everyone complains about Kayo I constantly have issues with Foxtel through the internet continuously buffering while my download speeds are in the 80s!
-
S B (@Conigman) reported@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?
-
Jez - WORLD PEACE PLEASE 🕊️❤️🌍 🇵🇸🇺🇦🇮🇷🌍 (@Jezzabhai108) reported@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 🙄🙄🙄
-
Ben (@benno_76) reported@mcdonellaussie @DisneyPlus I get ESPN through Foxtel. Would never think to use Disney
-
I’m an 8️⃣1️⃣🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 (@geranium555) reported@AmeliaBee7 @xskinn It used to fill me with anxiety and annoyance when I had the displeasure of having sky free on Foxtel. And seeing this idiot sitting there like a pompous buffoon. Thank Christ they removed free Sky News.
-
Jackie Chan (@JackieChan87805) reported@Tksed_1 @FinancialReview Stan is struggling with B grade sports content Rugby EPL etc & thats the groups biggest income source.. They made a bold , HUGE play for the biggest sport in the land the NRL & that would have seriously harmed DAZN/foxtels viability so DAZN/foxtel said **** you !!
-
the cat (@boogiecat11) reported@brentread_7 Shut up you *** clown. You and Crawley never have anything positive to say in the media. It is a criminal act that Foxtel and kayo make people pay money to see shows with you 2 idiots on there
-
Nigeyboy (@Nigeyboyl7do) reported@codenrl **** I hope so . I hate channel 9 coverage. Foxtel is the greatest footy network. The people are decent down to earth and care about fans. Channel may have the greatest players ever but it’s a lame boring telecast.
-
dixy (@DorothyDixer12) reported@barblbake @CaraMia200 Yes l know. In a large rural town l was staying at a friends house watching Aust open through foxtel (Yes l know) all went down no storms sound lost not one call centre knew what was going on Rural Australia has been thrown out with the fish kills
-
RichitiGrub (@WSWanderingEels) reported@Debre947 More games this year have a FTA component to them than previous. So Foxtel for the AFL will more than likely be down due to competing Free to air and doubling up multiple games and sometimes 3 game like the Sunday just past. Looks rosie but the numbers you don’t see will be poor.
-
Voicey (@Dubhgall90) reported@pantherman45 Kayo is all ready $46 a month for a flawed service. How much does it go to if Foxtel has to pay more for the NRL?
-
Sia (@sianasios) reported@Foxtel I am trying to login to the app, it buffers, then does nothing and I have opened and closed it many times!
-
Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported@Tuxy81 @Raiders_24Sep89 You’re 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
-
Deb (@cDebIn2050) reported@DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad
