    @PollyPorridge My town didn’t have channel ten until I was like 12? Or maybe later so if you didn’t have Foxtel you never saw it, and when I visited my aunty in Adelaide it was banned so it was a double whammy

    @craigspeculator @Foxtel Sorry for your loss Craig. I am working through my mum’s huge pile of paper to find out what needs paying and cancelling. Worst so far is her lawyer who was incredibly rude and refused to share her will without her death certificate despite me being the executor.

    & how ******** are Foxtel justifying a 3 man commentary team of Howard/Reiwoldt/Ricciuto for a Saturday night game. Phoning it in now

    @MisinfoFact Who actually watches this stupid ****? I have Foxtel, and I'm repulsed that's it even on there!

    @banditkayfabe WWF RAW was on Fox Sports 1 on Foxtel at 8.30pm on a Tuesday night for us. Always a few hours late but I was glued every week for about 5-6 years solid without fail.

    @RalphyHeraldSun Channel 7 is blurry crap. Hate Grand Final day when Foxtel can't telecast the game in 4k Ultra.

    The audio on Kayo sounds awful and hollow but the audio on Foxtel is ok. What is going on thought my TV was playing up #AFLTigersHawks

    @filmgeek_rq Yep absolute **** show. Murdoch said you’ll kill Foxtel so don’t let fibre happen, so Abbott dutifully obliged said ‘25mbps’ was sufficient. We’ve wasted billions on this the original plan was clearly the way to go.

  • THighgate11
    T Highgate (@THighgate11) reported

    @LeagueScenePod NRL won’t go for this. V’landys has said numorous times that he wants $4 billion for 5 years. This offer is $4 billion for 7 years which is worst than what the current AFL deal is. Foxtel needs this deal more than the NRL at this stage.

    @hpglassford i joined foxtel the day they started doing afl no regrets never watch 7 at all now

    @RhondaGarad @SBSOnDemand I was trying to remember when SBS started, was it commercial free like the ABC & then converted to a commercial network or was it always commercial? The fraudulent Foxtel told ppl pay this subscription fee for no adverts, that soon changed

    @Benjahhhmin @ReadingThePlay I had nothing but buffering issues with Kayo to the point where I thought "**** it, I'm paying for it anyway so.....I got Foxtel. Sometimes I think that's the whole point of Kayo's ********* all-round service.....get their customers frustrated enough to go pay for Foxtel.....

    @WSWanderingEels All those games where afl show multiple games on seven as one game, the Foxtel ratings would be awful. Guess we never know but I used to see some games getting 80k on Fox. On par with what a league and super rugby used to get

    @IWonderWhyNow @Foxtel Like ffs, Carlton made it a 3pt game & the 1st thing kingy mentions is that Daicos has been on the bench for a few minutes....... *******.

    Crowdiegal (@crowdiegal) reported

    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.

    Yeah 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.

    @AmeliaBee7 @xskinn It used to fill me with anxiety and annoyance when I had the displeasure of having sky free on Foxtel. And seeing this idiot sitting there like a pompous buffoon. Thank Christ they removed free Sky News.

    @SportMoments0 You do realise the population has more than doubled in Melbourne since the 80s.. and there are more games. Crowds are down, without the Foxtel deal the AFL would be broke

    @Foxtel u say u provide the best entertainment & sport.... the latest series of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch premiered 19 May 2026 in the USA.... It's July & youre still not screening in Aust - why am I paying $100/mth for second rate service? @HISTORY @BrandonFugal

    @Foxtel What is considered a new customer? Someone who has never had Foxtel before. Someone who has not had Foxtel directly with Foxtel for over 10 years?

    @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

    Foxtel hasn't got a single nrl or afl replay available from this week. What a useless piece of **** this service is.

    @craigspeculator @Foxtel Gross.. when we had to cancel our dog food subscription they asked why (can cancel online) we told them he died. They sent us a candle with his name on it. Honestly such a small gesture.. trying to keep a subscription in this situation feels a bit gross.

    @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.

    @thesportingbase They @Foxtel will lose me as a customer, despite being one for many years.

    Why are @Foxtel IQ5 such pieces of **** . Seriously they are the ******* worst and all Foxtel does is replace them knowing they are defective. Jesus Christ these corporates piss me off

    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

  • mcnamara_team
    The Steps (@mcnamara_team) reported

    @clarke3110 @bondiroosters Yep, Kayo is just the revamped Foxtel rip off. The AFL and NRL have let down the supporters, won’t be long until the attendance to games drops because the general lack of interest is.
