    @Tksed_1 @FinancialReview Stan is struggling with B grade sports content Rugby EPL etc & thats the groups biggest income source.. They made a bold , HUGE play for the biggest sport in the land the NRL & that would have seriously harmed DAZN/foxtels viability so DAZN/foxtel said **** you !!

    @DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad

    @Hugh_96 @balumbah I agree, as there's no accountability in RA. You can fail and fail again, and no transparency. My view is that 3 years after the RWC, when the money runs out, Foxtel will buy rugby for peanuts. Only then will it get fixed.

    @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

    @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.

    @TV_Blackbox The only losers would be DAZN (who own Foxtel and Kayo) and Nine (who own Stan) although if Nine keeps FTA rights it wouldn't be quite so bad for them.

    @KobieThatcher I'm still unsure how they measure how many people watch it as I've never seen a survey for it. Free to Air over Antenna is receive only as is Foxtel over satellite. I don't know many that watch FTA via the app.

    @C1_1RIS As an international fan, I find it ridiculous that the entire season isnt broadcasted by the same company But it also isn't my problem cuz foxtel broadcasts the whole season

    @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.

    @ruicharadrius Wifi here is like wifi anywhere, afaik. Perhaps you mean bandwidth. For that problem blame the government that thought fibre to premises was overkill. Turnbull, under the thumb of Murdoch who was protecting Foxtel. We don’t hate Murdoch enough.

    @catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.

    @c0op111 I just don’t want channels though I am using Kayo a streaming service. If I wanted Foxtel Now I would’ve gotten that. I just don’t understand because all they have to do is flick a switch. Doesn’t cost them anything

    Has 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

    @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

    @CamMagicMan Would def cancel foxtel & get kayo only ( if they get partial only)

    Realistically Nine are the only FTA TV network that maybe could afford the World Cup rights. Ten would have to partner with Foxtel. Seven...no way could they do it not with AFL, cricket and maybe NRL on their network...they would be paying a lot for all three sports just there.

    @mickgleeson Kayo is terrible, but oddly enough Foxtel Go never drops out, despite being the same feed from the same company.

    I wish. The watered down version of World Movies has just as many English speaking films as it does foreign films. The should give it back to Foxtel and allow R rated movies again.

    @Tuxy81 Same as foxtel. Just tried to cancel

    Kayo is such a rubbish streaming service, all thanks to those retards at Foxtel for giving them exclusive broadcasting rights. When the Footy is over I'm gonna buy another region's F1TV and watch there. This is garbage.

    @RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.
