  • samidowd Sami Dowd (@samidowd) reported

    @sorrentoseal @DarrenKilminst1 I've had to put it on via the Foxtel app as I'm not getting a signal from the dish because the weather is shite. I like Katich and Fleming on 7 too..

  • benharrisben the1ben (@benharrisben) reported

    @jeffcannata Boy I wish HBO Max were available in Australia. We'd have to subscribe to Foxtel (cable) to access HBO content (not HBO Max) and as part of that sign up to a bucket load of other crap you wouldn't want. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Wonder Woman 1984!

  • DMiddy78 mamba 4 life 🐍🏆🐐 (@DMiddy78) reported

    Oh cmon @Foxtel the second time this month I’m getting no signal for over 24 hours. Please refund my money for this month

  • joelstrickphoto Joel Strickland (@joelstrickphoto) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help is there an outage in the Melbourne area currently?

  • MorrisMark5 Mark Morris (@MorrisMark5) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I have a Foxtel now box but get the message “connected no internet” I know from my other devices internet is fine. Do you have a remedy as this has been going on for a while. Went through your trouble shooting page and didn’t resolve the issue.

  • trentontheradio Trent (@trentontheradio) reported

    @Matt81660385 @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help How about this one, I'll let you know what I think about it once I've given it a good test run. Foxtel were nice enough to give me this one as a Christmas item, which I appreciate being a Now customer.

  • EIdogg Eldogg (@EIdogg) reported

    Damn, I was having so much fun on Youtube covering the fights with you guys and it looks like that has come to halt as my channel has received an invalid copyright strike by @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help. I had purchased tonights PPV personally and linked where others could do so also...

  • truthful_100 TruthfulOne (@truthful_100) reported

    @Jason21981375 @SkyNewsAust 30 million was given to Foxtel. It’s bad enough #murdoch has 70% of the media here.

  • thechemistryguy Henry Louis (@thechemistryguy) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Foxtel do really screw with us. Watched first two episodes of ‘My Brilliant Friend’ then the third episode comes up ‘rent’ from store, but then episode 4 is available as normal. WTF is goIng on? Really pissed, I pay $140 a month. Really testing my patience this time.

  • SJL181 Steven Lewis (@SJL181) reported

    You know what sucks. Why don’t Insurance, Telecommunication, TV, Power, & Banking companies give discounts to loyal customers instead offering savings for new customers. Time to change. @NRMA @Foxtel @aglenergy just to name a few. Too late I changed

  • FavNerdGuy Rob Taylor (@FavNerdGuy) reported

    @hbomax @ZackSnyder since the streaming service isn’t available in Australia; will the TRUE version of Justice League go to iTunes here? Binge/Foxtel are our HBO options here, binge still isn’t doing 4K and Foxtel is EXPENSIVE even before the @HBO bundle.

  • FirmanPete Pete Firman (@FirmanPete) reported

    @Foxtel How about putting on a decent movie instead of rolling out the same crap every year!

  • bledd300 ابوخالد (@bledd300) reported

    @ACMilanSydney @beINSPORTS_AUS @Foxtel Even poor streaming will still be too fast for serie a matches.

  • Jake_Benoits Jake Benoiton (@Jake_Benoits) reported

    Foxtel can get in the bin. New year will mean no Fox for me. Signal cuts out regularly and it’s just not that good when it’s on. @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help

  • TraceyM94515836 Tracey 🦁❤️🦁❤️ mac (@TraceyM94515836) reported

    @Foxtel Just watch Fred clause actually it’s was slow at first but got better as it went along

  • CytokineSignal Andrew Brooks (@CytokineSignal) reported

    @collettesnowden Thanks for making me feel worse. Its almost as bad as the government giving Foxtel $30 million.

  • azefs azef (@azefs) reported

    @bxkehs I domt have a link it's through foxtel, my bad I thought u were asking who else is watching it

  • jaynie44 Ms Jayneo Sarky Knickers Squiggle 🇬🇧🇭🇲 (@jaynie44) reported

  • ACMilanSydney The AC Milan-Godfather (@ACMilanSydney) reported

    Hi all, the game in Sydney not viewable on iPad but ok on laptop. Poor stream but watchable @beINSPORTS_AUS @Foxtel

  • joodoff Judith L (@joodoff) reported

    @Telstra Hi, we are trying to suspend or cancel our Foxtel from Telstra account but cannot submit request and there is noone to ring. Can you please help? Thanks :)

  • dmccann65 esistwasestis (@dmccann65) reported

    @Justinsteer3 @pauloliver9999 @jkalbrechtsen But you have no problem with your taxes subsidising Foxtel?

  • DocDocwight 💧Doc (@DocDocwight) reported

    @lynlinking @icred1 How does this work? Foxtel publicly funded! Now Pratt is publicly funded! Why don’t we publicly fund people who need help?

  • WatersRising Natalie Waters (@WatersRising) reported

    @chrismurphys @Telstra We had the same problem. One by one, everything stopped working, including Foxtel. Fought a 6-month battle and after 6 months got it all back working. They paid compo, but it was inadequate. After having to fork out $$$ there hasn't been a problem since. Aussie Broadband maybe?

  • DesleyMullins Desley Mullins (@DesleyMullins) reported

    @FOXNRL Why do I have to listen to @7Cricket commentators? They’re awful!! 🥴 I don’t pay my Foxtel subscription for this crap!!!!! #BBL10

  • CytokineSignal Andrew Brooks (@CytokineSignal) reported

    @collettesnowden No worries, I was also pointing out the stupidity of funding decisions as I think the government giving large sums to Foxtel is completely stupid. If you've seen my tweets I also seem to mentions submarines quite a bit and a link to stupid funding decisions.

  • Sharon18516465 Sharon (@Sharon18516465) reported

    @Foxtel I blocked Foxtel now garbage

  • rambunctiousgo3 🕓💧RambunctiousGoat (@rambunctiousgo3) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks. Here’s a tip, make sure people are aware of that and tell your call centre too. Save a lot of frustration. Might cancel the whole subscription after that farce.
