Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@LeagueFreak Kerry Packer believed you bid the maximum you can so if you loose to anyone else - you know they will be worst off than you. Foxtel knows it will lose half their subscriptions if they lose the NRL. And that means it will go broke because they already over paid for the AFL.

Scott (Human) - 𐌃𐌏ᖇ𐌉乙乙𐌃𐌕 (@Dorizzdt) reported**** this, I'm going out today to spend $3k on a media setup. I'm going back to just pirating TV/Movies. It's not because I am not willing to pay, its I am tired of paying subscription services and having everything so fragmented and being Nickel and Dimed by the services. When we worked on HD Streaming in the 2000's we set the foundation up for the industry to make video possible more easier. Even back then convincing Hollywood / TV Networks to abandon physical media for streaming was a huge undertaking in itself. They just were ******* in contracts with the creators of content and couldn't find a way to make online work. Fast forward 20 years later and this is the **** we end up with. It literally is just easier to pirate than its to keep doing this. atm I pay for: HBO Max Stan FoxTel Primewire Paramount Netflix Disney+ BritTv (i forgot to cancel the trial fml) AppleTV+ Its about $160 a month AUD I can't find half the **** i want to watch and the stuff that I want to watch is full of ads, or you have to then pay extra ontop. I'm out. stfu ... I'ma use AI to setup a complete end to end media experience.

Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@SnoogThe Like all these events that “just happen”, if you’re at the ground listening to sports ear of the ref it’s normal after repeated warnings from the ref. Atkins lets things go for a couple times and then says something like “you’re on your last warning”, and then you get these “weird” decisions. I don’t like it - but it doesn’t shock me like it once did. If the NRL were serious about transparency, everyone should be able to receive a ref mic commentary on Kayo instead of the garbage we normally are subjected to recently. Foxtel had this in the mid 2000’s with just crowd mic sounds and the ref. It was great because it felt like you were at the ground.

Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported@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.
-
Paul Morris (@thefireman08) reported@craigspeculator @Foxtel Telstra aren’t much better. My mum had a mobile plan with them and hardly used. Something they could see from the monthly bills. In care because of dementia they insisted she would have to ring to cancel the plan.

yoelmonaro (@yoelmonaro) reportedAlso btw wtf was the ticking sound @Foxtel in the first 18 mins of the Panthers v Tigers coverage?
-
Piewarmer (@poundtown777) reported@FOXFOOTY @Foxtel what the hell is going on??? Why am I watching 2 channels of footy in INDIAN???? Sort this crap out #afldogstigers
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Kate3015 Just like Foxtel, AGL, & others do, the broken English is so difficult to deal with most times
-
wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported@WSWanderingEels My idea down the track is Saturday 930 nrl game (good for Perth) feeding directly into an earlier super league game. That would get them decent coin. Like when they go to 11 or 12 games. They can afford Foxtel so much more value down the track, afl can’t.
-
Punt Road Ferraris (@sk44476342) reported@ZRistevski @rohan_connolly May have only been an issue on Kayo. I regret disconnecting Foxtel. Kayo sucks.
-
Alex Carter (@abbacarter) reportedHas PVL sent instructions to Annesley to ensure the Broncos are still in the comp? Part of the rights deal with DZN / Foxtel or what? Downright embarrassing officiating. Off night from Cleary though, his kicking game was poor #NRLPanthersBroncos #PanthersvBroncos
-
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!
-
Briggsy (@champingyon) reportedThe Foxtel commentary team for this Titans vs Manly game could be the worst of all time....
-
Gus Lefty Aussie Patriot (@GusLefty) reported@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
-
GWB (@GWB41570523) reported@_Stacey1987 The Foxtel and Seven gotcha lap dogs given the task of find some dirt, get the bonus, fail and you are gone.
-
Steve Hudson (@SteveHudso95010) reported@JillMarinelli1 What ******** was thi **** I saw it also Absolute vomit material Foxtel better stop it or ill cancel my subscription
-
bomber_stu (@stu0508) reported@terrypunter5 @kayosports Hmm. That shouldn't be giving you too many issues. I admit I switched from Foxtel to Kayo a while back to save some $$. My Kayo experience was also very poor, to the point I couldn't stand it and had to switch back
-
TheOncePokeGeek2004 🇦🇺 (@MaxFerro10) reportedYeah I remember this show on ABC back in the day it was one of those shows when you randomly brain-dead to change the channel or if it was **** all on telly on a weekend or a day your sick, **** even a public holiday and if you're too poor for Foxtel or Austar.
-
David Lloyd (@zzzLLOYDYzzz) reported@GMCoops @leighjones0212 @Foxtel I’ve got a real good guy in USA and never buffers
-
Stonkin Days (@n0otherwaythere) reported@craigspeculator @Foxtel You can’t expect service workers to do emotional Labor. They’d get these calls all day. Personally I as a customer would prefer they keep it cold.
-
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
-
BomberSteve (@Bombersteve) reported@ShereeJohns @jagra1525 Absolutely, hands down the worst cricket commentator I have ever heard. Can Foxtel not hear him?? Same sort of boys club selections at Foxtel as the Australian cricket team have. Name before performance.
-
Tom Garner (@tom_garner) reported“There might be a change in broadcasters” Reading in far too much: - “might” - All on Sky on table? - No BBC? Bad IMO - huge reach. Unless ITV want it to add to rugby pfolio - On Pay TV. DAZN? Owns Foxtel so aligned with NRL, but £26 pm. TNT? Not the same production quality
-
Dale Johnson (@dazza0701) reported@Collin_G_Wood Surprised they never showed a reply of this at all on foxtel not one person even mentioned it. I thought for sure it was a point
-
SupremeBeing (@SupremeBeing888) reportedFoxtel is worth about $4.99-$6.99 a month, it’s full of commercials… cancel your Foxtel now
-
Don 🇺🇦🇦🇺 (@squizzy36) reported@MisinfoFact Who actually watches this stupid ****? I have Foxtel, and I'm repulsed that's it even on there!
-
Deb (@cDebIn2050) reported@DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad
-
Bill Blakeney 🇦🇺 (@wablakeney) reported@Foxtel camera work for #AFLlionshawks is garbage!!
-
Craig Thompson (@CraigGFCConsult) reported@leighjones0212 @Foxtel Haven’t watched that show since he started hosting. And Lyon for Robbo was a poor trade as well.
