  • dhcropley David Cropley (@dhcropley) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help system is currently randomly changing channels every second. Hasn't been working normally for several days. Either we have a poltergeist or there is something wrong with equipment/service. No help currently available, close to hurling set top box off cliff.

  • jay0l Joel (@jay0l) reported

    @StevenRudolphy @Foxtel I've got the same issue, Ultra HD black screen, all other channels are fine??

  • Felix786 Plants have feelings and I eat them (@Felix786) reported

    Foxtel is very bad at this "watch every ball" thing. #bbl10

  • lizoluwi Liz Brown (@lizoluwi) reported

    @Foxtel they are both crap

  • HV1nyl HipH0pV1nyl (@HV1nyl) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm Wtf are you talking about @TurnbullMalcolm you are one of the key people responsible for BUTCHERING the NBN so this muppet wouldn't lose too much revenue with his precious FOXTEL. Pick a side and stick to it.

  • Renar27 Renee (@Renar27) reported

    @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help - your voice activated phone system is ****. 10 mins and even when i said “for ***** sake” and it suggested customer service, it STILL didn’t transfer me through! I just want to confirm 1 thing that the website doesn’t tell me.

  • HelenMarie1951 Helen (@HelenMarie1951) reported

    @Foxtel I can’t stand stupid Christmas movies and there are a lot of them floating around, I much prefer a true story than made up rubbish...

  • MrQLD Pete Hill (@MrQLD) reported

    @SusannahBirch Never...get Foxtel 👎

  • andy_park Andy Park (@andy_park) reported

    @MikeCarlton01 @MatthewBevan I have been going between the two this test. At least with Foxtel you don’t get Big Bash rammed down your throat. Both pretty ordinary.

  • PartayPoopar Gabriel Lucifer (@PartayPoopar) reported

    @Google Surely the argument can be made Newscorp is about to go broke in Australia and now the Government is intrroducing this Bill... Foxtel TV subscription on life-support will they legislate Netflix to support Murdoch Media next? @acccgovau

  • PaulMur17575011 Paul Murphy (@PaulMur17575011) reported

    @Foxtel I will never make one cent towards anything Murdoch sells.

  • berniedole Doley (@berniedole) reported

    @TigerFraze You might need to get Foxtel down there mate,

  • KubischNathan Nathan Kubisch (@KubischNathan) reported

    @foxtel having issues with the sport 4k channel. Every time I go to watch I get a black screen and then no other channel works after that so I need to reboot.

  • RussSainter Sainter_Russ (@RussSainter) reported

    @saintslugger @Foxtel Bad Santa. Classic

  • joelstrickphoto Joel Strickland (@joelstrickphoto) reported

    @Telstra this is getting beyond a joke, over two full days with no internet or @Foxtel why can't I get a straight answer on when my service will be restored?

  • tron_applebaum Kawaii Mutton 🦖🚬 (@tron_applebaum) reported

    They just advertised Bill and Ted face the Music available to rent on Foxtel. I will never EVER forgive 2020 and the universe taking my chance away to watch this in the cinema. I feel genuinely bereft #billandtedforever

  • KubischNathan Nathan Kubisch (@KubischNathan) reported

    @Vandacorp @Foxtel I'm getting the same issue. Have to restart my box.

  • Matthew58489786 Matthew Rowland (@Matthew58489786) reported

    @MelanieTait I was watching that when I was in hospital. Had never seen it until then and only watched it because I couldn’t get Foxtel or streaming services to my bed.

  • onlyheathhere 🐷 brendan 🐶 (@onlyheathhere) reported

    @Foxtel muting because i’m sick of this popping up so much everyday & vince vaughn sucks

  • Deckcrow1 Deckcrow (@Deckcrow1) reported

    @Foxtel Surely no-one still suffering with Foxtel, utter **** product

  • Matt81660385 Matt (@Matt81660385) reported

    @ButtsManga @Foxtel Can you not support Murdoch

  • claffin Chris Laffin (@claffin) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help No satellite signal for 3 days here in Mount Gambier :(

  • yewoteven Conservatives Smell (@yewoteven) reported

    @Foxtel None. Not interested in an overpriced, Murdoch owned service.

  • SusannahBirch Susannah Birch (@SusannahBirch) reported

    Me in 2010: Pffft I will never pay for TV. Me in 2020: I've got Netflix, Stan and Binge. Should I get Foxtel?

  • MrTVAus Mr TV Australia (@MrTVAus) reported

    Yesterday’s #AUSvIND on FTA, saw the regional audience well up and big (over 300k aggregated), while the metropolitan audience was well down and low. Awaiting Foxtel’s ratings. >>Looking like 1st Test total average 1m+ (biggest sessions): D1 S3 1.33m, D2 S3 1.21m & D3 S2 ~1.2m.

  • SplitSchizophr1 Split In Six (@SplitSchizophr1) reported

    @Foxtel Christmas Vacation is number one for me. Also Home alone 1 and 2 and Bad Santa are Christmas must watches every year in my house

  • M_Abbas89 Mohammed Abbas (@M_Abbas89) reported

    @JGIBBS10SBBIGJ Well said mate. I'm a Sydney fc fan and I am totally embarrassed to see the lack of respect shown to football. Foxtel went the entire last season without a single show about the game. They've literally outed everyone to do with football. All they give a **** about is rugby league

  • NTX55 Nick Toohey (@NTX55) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help has the 4K channel down or is it me?

  • Vandacorp James van der Moezel (@Vandacorp) reported

    @KubischNathan @Foxtel Good news is Foxtel support helped sort the issue. They did a couple of remote software resets on the box which have so far worked well.

  • sutho2012 Ali Devlin (@sutho2012) reported

    @FOXSports We only have a subscription to Foxtel for the Sport, esp. sailing coverage and you can't get it right. So dissapointed, the signal is crap and can't watch the coverage. Considering pulling the subscription all together #AmericasCup #SydneytoHobart #WorldMatchRacing
