-
Shaun ⚽️ (@InTheMixer) reportedThe WU are unlikely coming back and Reddit Rumours that Macarthur are handing back their licence. Literally every Code Football article is negative. I hope David Gallop never gets a job again and that Foxtel/Kayo is liquidated and offshored by DAZN. #BestLeagueInTheWorld
-
Bruce Goosnargh. 🌳 (@camelboy33) reported@Tuxy81 I pay $29 a month for Foxtel Basic and Sports on the app. No streaming issues. Ever.
-
Angry E𝕏ile 🇺🇦 (@AngryExile) reported@Xenosmilus4 @MisanthropeGirl Presumably you can stream to a Sky box as well as get satellite, but can you get it to use only as a streaming set top box? The equivalent here, Foxtel, just has an app for people who don’t want the satellite service, which means using a Firestick, Apple TV or the like.

Jackie Chan (@JackieChan87805) reported@LeagueFreak If they lose the rights they're finished . the 4 billion they paid for foxtel sports next to worthless when more then half their subscribers move to the streaming service that has the NRL But... Stan & Paramount are serious in taking DAZN out of the Australian market
-
bec s (@bec_8888) reportedJust lost the foxtel signal (must be lots of rain coming) lucky @abcsport working to listen to magic round games @QuentinHull @zanofc Billy Moore
-
Jan (@bimmyjartel) reported@H_the_Strange @FOXTEL_Help I'm going to go through what we've got and cut it back to the basic. Maybe even get rid of it for the summer and come back as a new customer in March. They offer new customers cheap packages. But don't give that offer to existing ones. As you say, they don't care.
-
Jason robert (@JasonR69737) reported@SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus Would the AFL be secretly hoping that Foxtel retain the broadcast rights to the NRL given that it's foreign ownership would have to consider the network's future if it lost the NRL?
-
squash (@o7squash) reportedhow ******** is foxtel still in business
-
Tiger Pops69 (@tigerpops69) reported@A1dynRL @ALeagueHQ Many issues with the A league, its promotion and its coverage. Love to know the audience on paramount + vs Foxtel days… quality of marquee players has gone down hill and it just lacks the spark it had when Melbourne V Sydney on multiple times packed marvel stadium back then
-
Morsey (@WCE92940618) reportedLet’s be honest @7afl coverage is so much better than @FOXFOOTY this year All they need now is a couple Saturday games and i would cancel @Foxtel
-
George Munro (@ornums53) reported@1116sen Because Ch7 "Allegedly" have the footy rights but have 4 less games than Foxtel. No footy on Sat's poor elderly that AFL don't get any Sat footy anymore G but what would you blokes care. Broadcaters fault. And camera work is pathetic. Game is in chaos. Poor Laura took the hit.

Bryan S (@BryanS81) reported@Foxtel fix ur sound on the footy!!!
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reported@Foxtel and @Telstra will yiu get rid of your not answering chats in your page. I’m a human and want to speak with a human . ***** sake where is customer service these days
-
side quest king (@babydoll25pc) reported@hudsonwphotos Nooo, not Foxtel - wtf! brb checking out how much im going to have to pay
-
NMM (@NeilMur73809257) reported@GusLefty @BenFordhamLive Yeh but we have a choice whether we pay for Foxtel but no choice whether we pay for your ABC! Some people are slow thinkers.
-
Mr_Ives (@Mr_Ives_) reported@BigOtrivia 100% footy is utter garbage viewing. Foxtel record it & fast-forward most of it. Gould offers absolutely zero. Ch7s new show is much better viewing. Don't get me started on the Hello Sport segment.
-
joan Reynolds (@joanReynolds52) reported@RBJRON @strangerous10 I’m with you. Haven’t bought a Murdoch rag since 1997. Never subscribed to Foxtel and, for my own sanity, never tuned into Sky. Don’t walk into a Harvey Norman shop and avoid anyone else who advertises with the Murdochracy
-
Paulo Yarb (@PauloYarb) reported@rohan_connolly @colonelhogans Don’t worry too much. Enduring the cats swans on Foxtel was painful. If it wasn’t Dwayne the pain talking ****, it was camera work which failed miserably. Absolute rubbish. Switch over to the pies game and you’ve gotta listen to back door Lyon and Howie. And the umpiring…pfft
-
𝕹𝖔𝕯𝖚𝖓𝖓𝖞𝕻𝖆𝖕𝖊𝖗 🧻 (@blankandclear) reported@Cryptozoologis7 @SCWhisperer Slater and Smith are as bad as the two you mentioned. Thank goodness for Foxtel. Channel 9 suck!
-
X- Y Bailey 🇦🇺🇳🇿 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇮🇹 (@Bailey92035278) reported@EdSaint61 After channel nine just cut NBN news channel 9 don’t deserve any right to NRL rights I hope channel 7 gets it and Foxtel stays too **** channel 9
-
Charlie Sheehan (@pauliewalnut) reported@FOXNRL I signed up for Foxtel in 1992 primarily for the rugby league coverage….i hope like hell they lose the broadcast rights ! Ennis, Voss, Duke, Alexander are ****** terrible commentators
-
kristen (@_kjerkovich) reported@Foxtel can you please fix your Kayo Minis and full replay for the Freo v Hawks game last night?? Having only the 2min Sportsbet Preview available to stream is poor form 20+ hrs later!!!
-
tsell (@TsellSellersfam) reported@BillWiIdin I was on the phone to a foxtel employee who put me on hold 3 times to go and check her son who had broken her leg. At least she was honest about it but yeah a 15min phone call ended up taking 45mins. Not productive at all.
-
Anna (@spannaforce) reportedIs there a problem with @FOXTEL_Help ? I keep getting playback error message
-
lady galadriels 🏏 @ mtcg - ishkh khakfe andu null (@miss_reys_mind) reportedone of the main reasons i persist with foxtel is to watch #redv games. saints are really tempting me in to giving it up. if it wasnt for cricket and a few shows i really like it would be gone cmon, @NRL_Dragons , get your **** together
-
Alice Stewart 🦂 (@Theretributor) reported@Ausbobsmit Knifing Tony Baloney was a fine public service. You forget Tony brought us world slowest copper wire internet to save Rupert Murdoch’s satellite Foxtel crap from being dumped in the bin. The man in the photo had to sell the dog to us. Not me - I was one of first fibre connected.
-
Ben (@bennyshelts) reported@andrew_whelan The problem is, it still just uses the same linear channel feeds from Foxtel.
-
Dale in Perth 🔴⚪⚫ (@DaleTho45919445) reported@kayosports / @Foxtel why can’t we hear the crowd with your commentary? It sounds like you’re not even there!! Absolutely terrible!! It’s ANZAC Day and we’re stuck with inferior products
-
daleo (@v4daleo) reported@MotoGP why do I actually give you money ? Your app coverage is **** and completely inconsistent. No functioning service . Cancelation request incoming. Guess Foxtel gets your money now.
-
Mike Oxbig (@Manbearpigzebra) reportedI haven’t been able to record for a month, now i’ve lost all the recordings I had. Did they help? No, of course not why would they it’s not like it’s their job **** you @Foxtel How about giving some help and care to one of your few remaining customers, or am I asking too much?
