    @scottEmovienerd That's really weird cos, here in Australia where we normally get a worse setup than you guys, for some reason Knives Out is available on 3 streaming places (Netflix, Binge/Foxtel and the free service 7Plus... so if you have a VPN, there are your solutions)

  • kathie_garnham Kathie Garnham (@kathie_garnham) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I'm not getting anything apart from a message when I try to sign in AF4013.

  • el_pollo_loco Aussie Boxing Scribe (@el_pollo_loco) reported

    @MadeManG74 You might be right. I didn't read the article that way but on reflection it's a little ambiguously worded. I've got no problem with No Limit having an exclusive PPV deal w/Foxtel.

  • ofaf418 John (@ofaf418) reported

    @Ron_Boll @Foxtel Mr lucky at it again just like winning a raffle never ends

  • lanyfilm lany 🎄 (@lanyfilm) reported

    foxtel is broken and the only channel it will play is oNE movie channel playing Goodfellas. like literally won’t play ANYTHING ELSE what’s goin awn

  • MickH22161637 Mick H (@MickH22161637) reported

    @wpasterfield @Foxtel yep sometime earlier this year, been a subscriber for about 20years for racing & cannot stand free to air. Kept the email though because i think it may revert to my package or i pay for what I've been upgraded to, so will cancel before that, pay $70pmth

  • heisenbison Juan Fandango (@heisenbison) reported

    @IzaacRowatt @MMF006 I never had Foxtel cause it's too expensive, but I've got paramount cause it's cheaper, so for me the switch to them has been a positive.

  • The_IanSmith Ian Smith 💉 x 4 (@The_IanSmith) reported

    @artfulbunny The Daily Telegraph took the same line but they put a ******* Santa hat on the murderous prick's head. Everyone, cancel your Foxtel membership and stop buying Murdoch rags or you're approving this ****.

  • toymaster771 Ian Devitt (@toymaster771) reported

    @wpasterfield @Foxtel With all the crap thats on Foxtel we should get it all for free.If they did not have Sky I certainly would not have it.

  • PaulAClanchy Paul Clanchy (@PaulAClanchy) reported

    @wpasterfield @Foxtel Yes, they added back the movie channels, Entertainment Okys, Kids etc., which I removed several years ago due to having these covered by streaming services. I might hang on for a bit longer, but I’m only one streaming service - Kayo - from dumping Foxtel in its entirety.

  • lathiat Trent Lloyd 🦆 (@lathiat) reported

    @yortw This is me everytime I'm trying to watch yesterday Formula 1 race on Foxtel. A service that prides itself on Sports. I have to scroll sideways to the end of the list of episodes for "Episode 129 Brazil Race...".

  • GaylorDaniel Daniel Gaylor (@GaylorDaniel) reported

    @el_pollo_loco @loudibella Those Sky Channel & Foxtel exclusives in the late 90’s were horrendous. No oversight re opponent quality. The same Thai journeyman would be imported for three losses in consecutive months. Unwatchable garbage.

  • AdeleKThomas Adele K Thomas 🦄✨ (@AdeleKThomas) reported

    @mirojurcevic @cathywilcox1 I see it's on the Binge streaming service...and Foxtel.

  • pooley57 Ray Poole (@pooley57) reported

    @JTNeesonJnr @wpasterfield @Foxtel Worst $68 per month I spend. Get it for AFL and not much else. Do stream much here. Speed is <2mbs

  • miss_reys_mind 🔭🛰🪐🤓🏳️‍⚧️ lady galadriels 🏏 @ mtcg😷⬆️ (@miss_reys_mind) reported

    Sick of all the bullshit **** ups on my iq3, the missed recordings, partial recordings, recording and finishing hours b4 schedule, drive jumping 20-30% for no reason, etc ... Ive bit the bullet snd hope a factory reset fixes those issues and many more if not foxtel can upgrade me

  • LodgeOsborne Stuart Osborne (@LodgeOsborne) reported

    Hi @Foxtel I see plenty of posts from people saying they’ve been given free upgrades, what do us loyal customers that were stupid enough to pay full freight all these years get? 🙏🏼

  • swiftliterati miranda (@swiftliterati) reported

    @lunvts OMG DID IT NOT COME OUT FOR YOU? WTF. i havent checked yet but i watch it on foxtel so i’ll see

  • desann11 Des Richards (@desann11) reported

    @wpasterfield @Foxtel Now all I need is a reliable signal.

  • RussHunter77 Russ Hunter (@RussHunter77) reported

    @MatthewBevan I used to watch a lot of cricket and AFL. Will never pay a cent to Foxtel, on principle (aside from it being a rip off)

  • montychandra10 Monty Chandra (@montychandra10) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hey guys. Some of us have been getting emails about getting free Foxtel packages. Some have an end date in Dec, Some in Jan 2023. But a few of us have no end date in the email. So what does this mean? We get the free packages forever? Thanks for any help.

  • i_borborygmi Borborygmi (@i_borborygmi) reported

    @charles_haig01 You avoid that by never signing up, lol. Foxtel is garbage, what are you doing?

  • aa_captain Captain (@aa_captain) reported

    @wpasterfield @Foxtel I cancelled that **** show. The only package is the one consisting of the IQ box I'm returning.

  • gingerrtwit Ginger (@gingerrtwit) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks, they are closed right now. I thought we used to be able to get help here on Twitter.

  • miss_reys_mind 🔭🛰🪐🤓🏳️‍⚧️ lady galadriels 🏏 @ mtcg😷⬆️ (@miss_reys_mind) reported

    Well movies extra for no extra cost for foxtel from Telstra for being a loyal customer. It would be great if they gave me a box that worked properly, though

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi I am annoyed that my Foxtel went down - let's hope it's not a neighbourly issue. (seems odd its went down on not even a windy day.) I have not been unplugged for ages!

  • brendando Nerd Daddy (@brendando) reported

    Cancelling my Foxtel subscription felt like putting down my dog.

  • suthodan @SandhuDan (@suthodan) reported

    Exclusive deals are never good for the industry. No Limit now have (reported) say on what boxing can be shown on Foxtel and main event They've effectively frozen out Tasman - (Huni, Hardman etc)

  • Soulsy04 Soulsy (@Soulsy04) reported

    @suthodan Boxing on Foxtel is in a horrible state. We had heaps of Australian cards for a while. Was so good to watch the best of Australia and see if they had potential. Now it’s all bs ppv on ppl I’m not invested in.

  • WYF_Podcast Jamie Irwin (@WYF_Podcast) reported

    @fourfingerpod Wait, it's called Foxtel?! I've been hearing it as Foxtail! Why didn't someone tell me? I've been making an idiot out of myself!
