Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Savreach Savonomics (@Savreach) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help This fix isn't working for me and your call centre wait times have been "1-2 hours" for days when I try to resolve the issue by phone

  • NancyGeorges Nancy Georges (@NancyGeorges) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help we have been more than patient. We ordered a new box over a month ago. On demand doesn’t work on our box - u turned that off to force people to the new boxes - which are not available! The box has stopped working AGAIN. We are paying a lot of money for no service.

  • Pam_SA15 Pam (@Pam_SA15) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help OK update from me. Procedures mentioned above work BUT took away the ability to 'rewind' live shows. Only way to fix that was full system reset. Done, fixed, lost ALL previously recorded programs! I do hope there is some sort of compensation for this whole damned mess!!

  • ChrisNMcDowell Chris McDowell (@ChrisNMcDowell) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help My account has been suspended due to lack of payment. I have since made the payment & tried to reactivate my account and now it won't accept my card despite taking money from it earlier this week. How do I rectify this problem?... thanks in advance

  • willijet joe williams# (@willijet) reported

    @1Swinging_Voter This is the main reason we cancelled our Foxtel dont miss this crap

  • flabbergutsted paul donnelly (@flabbergutsted) reported

    @RBJRON Don't worry Ron, Foxtel is total repetitive ****, I use it as background just glancing up to reassure myself that I am watching the same show my mind is doing the commentary to.

  • N8Dawwwg Nate (@N8Dawwwg) reported

    Would l be asking too much for Foxtel to put the damn score up on the screen. I missed the start and have been watching for 15 minutes before finding out we’re 1-nil down!cmon #GERvAUS @Foxtel #WeAreMatildas

  • michaellewis_7 Michael Lewis 🦥 (@michaellewis_7) reported

    @R0C_CAT @kayosports used to have Foxtel so i didnt have this problem, but they removed xbox support

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @Foxtel But never a worse time to choose Foxtel. **** off Rupert, I have youtube now.

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @CGMakin @Foxtel Cancel. And when their call centre operator throws more and more free stuff, still cancel. They will do whatever they can to keep you on board, but you can do it. Get rid of Foxtel.

  • RMurtgh robyn murtgh (@RMurtgh) reported

    @whozenexxt @SamDavi99667843 @MrPatte79195679 Poor sods don't realise Vera has already aired on Foxtel they are eagerly soaking up reruns

  • njm8686 Nick Mitson (@njm8686) reported

    @Foxtel why is nobody helping me? My IQ4 has been broken all week. Don’t ask me to turn it off and on again. I have contacted you guys EVERYDAY trying to sort this. You’re happy to take my money but not happy to fix your problem #customerservicefail

  • Borgus17 Aussie Dungeonhead 🇦🇺 (@Borgus17) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Tanner_Coad19 Don’t have Foxtel so network is the only way to watch unfortunately

  • RaeDowd18 Rae Dowd (@RaeDowd18) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Just letting you know I cannot pay Foxtel till the 23rd had to do car registration pay Go MasterCard **** all money left so sorry about that will come right next time round ..

  • HrabarPaul Paul Hrabar (@HrabarPaul) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help No signal at all. Tells us iQ 4 Box will take a moment but doesn’t show anything and Red light doesn’t turn to blue. Remote light keeps flashing too.

  • AllyEriha αℓℓү 🤷🏽‍♀️💕 (@AllyEriha) reported

    @zyronhernandezz WWE Network? Peacock? Main Event on Foxtel?

  • Pam_SA15 Pam (@Pam_SA15) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help OK so since this 'fix' my re-wind function no longer works???

  • kswindells1 Katrin Swindells (@kswindells1) reported

    @Foxtel Pay to support Foxtel? That's like donating money to Voldemort.

  • bartlett_kate Kate Bartlett (@bartlett_kate) reported

    @BradHend14 Foxtel is always like that. Just mute! Then it’s problem solved!

  • jblow19442019 jblow19442019 (@jblow19442019) reported

    @Foxtel your service, product and support are SO bad you deserve to suck the sweat from a dead man’s *****!

  • krunchymoses Joel Hill (@krunchymoses) reported

    @jono_miller Foxtel and Binge - I believe you get a few months free if you're a telstra customer which is pretty sweet.

  • ClickCollins Click 🙂 (@ClickCollins) reported

    Just turned off @Foxtel AGAIN as there is nothing but utter crap on & I've watched the full @SkyNewsWeather loop. And seriously, ruining my Saturday morning cartoons with season 26 Simpsons is just an insult. I've threatened it before but the end is coming after 16 years

  • Protenpinner Clifford Stewart (@Protenpinner) reported

    Of course 🙄. Ball goes out but because Foxtel cut the amount of cameras we have to use the halfway line camera to tell if it went out. ******* **** show #MACvBRI

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @demoncleanser @GreenCap13 @Foxtel We are paying for Foxtel's coverage, through that damn government grant for them to cover womens sport

  • chris_vines Chris (@chris_vines) reported

    @NBLpocketpod If it's not recorded bad luck. When you have Foxtel. And free to air access, you should have an option to rewatch any game you wish. They make this almost impossible.

  • TimeCertainRace TimeCertainClock (@TimeCertainRace) reported

    @Danny10_DotCom If u arent getting formula e check youtube maybe ur tv deal didnt happen so its watchable on there. Aussie used to have kayo for qualy and race but to watch the support race u needed foxtel. Now main race foxtel qualy on toutube

  • TezMillerOz Tez Miller reading Lydia Kang's ***** AND ABSINTHE (@TezMillerOz) reported

    Anyone else in VIC having difficulty accessing free-to-air channels via their Foxtel? Not just 10shake, which we've never had, but now it won't show 10, ABC, SBS, 7... I've had to access them via the TV itself. (Except the SBS channels don't work via the TV.) Really annoying.

  • allrite allrite (@allrite) reported

    Why would any non-sports nut pay for a Foxtel subscription? There are so many channels but nothing worthwhile to watch. Pity this apartment's TV doesn't support casting.

  • ForbyKoonan Forby Koonan (@ForbyKoonan) reported

    Australians got Austar for add free TV. Now they have Foxtel which is 50 % adds. How stupid are we?

  • GreenScreen3r GreenScreen3r (@GreenScreen3r) reported

    @Foxtel True ... never been easier to not choose Foxtel
