    @codenrl **** I feel sorry for people who don't have Foxtel and have to put up with retarded old **** head every week!

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

    @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

    @sportandracing @AussieNinerGuy @footyindustryAU Um Yes AFL broadcast agreement with the Seven Network & Foxtel includes built-in annual indexation Compound Growth: The contract features an in-built indexation rate, which represents a compound annual growth rate of about 3.6% for the rights fees over the life of the agreement

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

    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

    Given 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

    @Cryptozoologis7 @SCWhisperer Slater and Smith are as bad as the two you mentioned. Thank goodness for Foxtel. Channel 9 suck!

    @lui_zacher The foxtel clock froze. The actual time clock was still counting down. So in the end it was explained last night of the coverage & no time was lost.

    @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.

    @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

    Karalee Katsambanis has blocked me on Instagram, but my complaint is in with Sky via Foxtel who is my streaming platform. If they don’t respond I will be lodging a complaint with ACMA. She could just apologise.

    @Sharkydave44 Nine has the money from the Domain sale. Yes, Dazn would be incredibly stupid to lose the rights after forking out for Foxtel. Dazn has shown some form in trying to lowball sport bodies I don’t believe the numbers have been agreed on, I do think the NRL would prefer not to move

    @NadiaWa35758056 Remembering at the time Murdoch Foxtel was a satellite 'service'. Murdoch did not want a good high speed internet as it would 'damage' his Foxtel

    @FootyonNine IV'E GONE BACK TO THE ADDS, ON 7, MUCH BETTER THAN THE DUNSTALL CRAP & A GREEN ******* TEST PATTERN , FOR 5 MINUTES , WHAT ******** IS THAT ABOUT, NO COMMERCIALS , THAT WAS THE PROMISE, MORE TEST PATTERN THAN PAULINE'S PRESS CLUB COAT, **** OFF FOXTEL.

    @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?

    @StanSportAU we don’t want advertising during live sport. That’s the deal I signed up to. Now you’ve changed the deal. I’m a Premium continuous customer paying $42 pm. Just like I cancelled #foxtel I will cancel you. #9entertainment

    @LeagueFreak Foxtel don’t have any issues.

    @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.

    @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 don’t hate Murdoch enough.

    @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.

    @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.

    @RalphyHeraldSun Channel 7 is blurry crap. Hate Grand Final day when Foxtel can't telecast the game in 4k Ultra.
