  • DouglasHolgate Douglas Holgate (@DouglasHolgate) reported

    @ESPNAusNZ And we can’t watch it. Utterly **** service. Can’t get ESPN without physical Foxtel or Fetch which I don’t want. Pathetic. Why don’t you want my money?

  • steveburgess23 Steve Burgess (@steveburgess23) reported

    @robtoddler I’ve got a theory that streaming is bad for sport. I used to watch heaps more random sporting events when Foxtel was a monolithic monopoly.

  • vanderant Vanderant (@vanderant) reported

    @Miguel224512091 Anyone competent would be more concerned about the likes of Harvey Norman & Foxtel leeching tens of MILLIONS from the public purse. But no… let’s talk about phantom welfare recipients instead to distract from real waste issues that benefit rich white folks.

  • MrTVAus Mr TV Australia (@MrTVAus) reported

    @TheBusDriver43 @marklevy2gb It was for Foxtel's pre-logged "Podium" coding around 5:30pm (AEDT) which will most likely be time-adjusted down anyway as that was actually the finishing stages of the "Race". However, yes, in preliminary rankings, that is higher than all NRL Finals (only behind AFL Finals).

  • rooboy1988 JT (@rooboy1988) reported

    @Foxtel @Chrismu30875787 Kinda the point is that there SHOULDN’T be any ads on a service that you pay for. Foxtel sucks

  • wantyrchokehold Laura 🏆🏆 (@wantyrchokehold) reported

    Interesting, just got a text from my ISP to advise that there is state-wide issues with broadband & I'm likely effected. Look up at the TV which is streaming Foxtel and it's going fine & currently typing on my laptop connected to the net. Will die when I clock off of course.

  • Pantmonger Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Pants (@Pantmonger) reported

    @Halcyon_Daz3 @ChrystalWRox Eghhh Foxtel. I might have to free trial that thing. Thanks for the info though. I googled when it came out and only got "Aus? Sucks to be you" results.

  • dancer_61 Jill P🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@dancer_61) reported

    @Foxtel House of the Dragons & The Winchesters!Loved Got (except for the ending - they shld never have rushed that season!) but I’m a Supernatural addict and miss that show so much (thank god for reruns/streaming!) and can’t wait to see if this will live up to the OG but in its own way!

  • AndrianBabeyy Andrian ~ He/Him ~ Commissions Open! (@AndrianBabeyy) reported

    @djknx I watched ABC because I’m too poor for foxtel

  • sportmeister_ Chris Meister 🏏⚾️🏈🏒 (@sportmeister_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @kate_880 @ESPNAusNZ I don't have a Foxtel login I only have Kayo but think I have a fetch code from a mate so that might work

  • sue_mcgorlick Sue McGorlick (@sue_mcgorlick) reported

    @Foxtel Don’t support Murdoch

  • killerofsnakes BT (@killerofsnakes) reported

    I have traveled to Boston to see this team! I shouldn’t have to cancel kayo & change to foxtel I order to watch my team. We all know there’s ways around it, but it shouldn’t be this difficult. Give kayo subscribers the same option!

  • Dopdoo4 Dopdoo 419 (@Dopdoo4) reported

    @mirandadevine Cancel your Foxtel account

  • poc125 paul o'callaghan (@poc125) reported

    @RodderzNow problem with Foxtel...They are behind an episode

  • NeuroRonin NeuRo Da MuZZ (@NeuroRonin) reported

    @CaptainCanucks8 Same I mean it’s on Foxtel but at over or around 90$ a month base package **** right off Murdoch

  • jpw84 Jonathan (@jpw84) reported

    @Shuttlecock It doesn't help that it's hidden away on Foxtel here, rather than airing on a big channel like it does in the UK.

  • brettadam_23 Brett Graham 🌱 (@brettadam_23) reported

    @1HalfWit @TwoPaddocks Foxtel produced The Twelve which I’ve heard was pretty good, I haven’t watched it. I have no problem with cross promotion, it’s not like he’s hanging out with Rupert. Also, Telstra has a decent stake in it but no one mentions that.

  • TashWaveRider Natasha Damar (@TashWaveRider) reported

    @Foxtel 🙄🤮🤮 Fox is not a real network no thanks

  • jaejae316 Jae (@jaejae316) reported

    @jussiejussie @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help It's fine on my Xbox but there was an update for the Disney Xbox app around the same day I first noticed this problem, it's only things that have been added since Thursday that it happens to

  • ultimablackmage Jean-Paul Bartolomei (@ultimablackmage) reported

    @ParamountPlusAU can you PLEASE get a native app made for the Xbox & PlayStation game consoles along with Foxtel iQ3, iQ4 and iQ5! You need to make your service more available to people! It's like you don't have a clue how to make money.

  • bjcameron100 Ben Cameron (@bjcameron100) reported

    @Foxtel Alex Jones smashed. Now for FOX network and the Murdochs!!!!

  • TheRiffJet Riff Jet (@TheRiffJet) reported

    The following applies to your Loyalty Team @FOXTEL_Help Never buy a car on Monday, workers r hung over Tuesday the workers r warming up Wednesday is the day to buy Thursday might as well be Friday Friday you never buy a car, the workers are only hanging out for the weekend

  • ivandilber Antony (@ivandilber) reported

    @damodeblasio @Dan_Mose @7AFL Probably cancel your Foxtel subscription Damo, if you have one.

  • timwoneill Tim O'Neill (@timwoneill) reported

    @Telstra I'm in the app, chatting to your customer support team now. Just the normal Foxtel + Telstra muck-around, nothing you can solve in Twitter I doubt!

  • VegJames James (@VegJames) reported

    @GordyPls No Foxtel box rental wouldn’t be the worst and no satellite install

  • kate_880 Kate (@kate_880) reported

    @ClayTRON3 Obviously not ideal through a TV format, but the ESPN app/watch ESPN online allows you to use a foxtel login to watch

  • AflTrades1 Afl Trades (@AflTrades1) reported

    Jon Ralphs performance on Trading Day on Foxtel tonight csn easily win the worst media performance of the last decade... easily!!

  • sassafras34 Sarahssafras34 Artworks 🔞🏳️‍🌈 (@sassafras34) reported

    Ever since an enforced @Foxtel update last Thursday night, none of the apps have been working properly. Amazon Prime, SBS OnDemand, Disney Plus, either not loading, or crashing, and SBS in particular reseting to the beginning of programmes. Anyone else having this issue?

  • Benjamincraig01 Benjamin (@Benjamincraig01) reported

    Is the cricket aussies vs poms or India live on channel 7 or still on the stupid pay tv kayo foxtel or what ever

  • JParlamentas Joanna Ziemer💉💉💉💉#VoteYes #IStandWithDan (@JParlamentas) reported

    @Foxtel Thanks but NO! I will never ever give Murdoch 1 cent of my money.
