  • bcurrall80 Blake Currall (@bcurrall80) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Having to watch the Eagles game through the Foxtel app on my iPad because the Foxtel box, as usual, has a **** connection. How can they’re equipment be consistently so terrible?

  • TopPilotAlt TopPilotAlt (@TopPilotAlt) reported

    THANK YOU @Foxtel @FOXSportsAUS and @kayosports for being too greedy and granting us with Stan Sport. Ifn t wasn't for U 3 then we'd be stuck with an overpriced sub-par service with ads. Stan Sport>Fox Sports.

  • Mr_Wolf_15G Mr Wolf ᚢᛚᚠᛦ (@Mr_Wolf_15G) reported

    @picotrek I'm never signing up to Foxtel. Seems obvious that I should be able to watch this on a media app on my playstation, maybe paywalled behind PSPlus

  • TheRealTOUXFC Luke neill (@TheRealTOUXFC) reported

    @Foxtel @FOXFOOTY @kayosports remove the score display of the other game played at the same time. Trying to watch it without spoilers, no need it’s horrible.

  • BarryKi02759103 Bazza (@BarryKi02759103) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Thank gawd I cancelled Foxtel !! accidentally switched on to her ! and thought WTF !!!!

  • wilfredmelb Wilfred (@wilfredmelb) reported

    @ant2608 @SkyNewsAust Cancel your Foxtel, unfortunately it’s Murdoch

  • revardin Revardin (@revardin) reported

    @Somewhe132177 @SkyNewsAust Just one of many reasons why I’ll never have Foxtel in the house. Overpriced rubbish.

  • sammya2375 Sam Alexander (@sammya2375) reported

    I'm watching this on Foxtel 4k and the sounds terrible. Either there is some weird reverb on the commentator's voices or someones turning the crowd noises up and down... it sounds like playing a record backwards. #gotiges #AFLPowerTigers

  • lotsofblurb 🇺🇦 lotsofblurb (@lotsofblurb) reported

    @TrevorHockins Saturation gambling ads on Foxtel is about as bad as it gets

  • mcmungawar mcmungawar (3,3) (🌵,🌵) (@mcmungawar) reported

    Worst part about doing your seeds on footy? Foxtel minis on for the next week reminding you of your near aneurysm

  • MissLizzieZiZi 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕫𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕥𝕙 (@MissLizzieZiZi) reported

    Upgrading to iQ5 is technically a downgrade, can only record one programme at a time!! Wtf @Foxtel #foxtel

  • therekoning31 Darren (@therekoning31) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help have a PE3016 playback error for nearly 2 months now since first reported in June! Can’t access any channels! July 21 was the last I heard from foxtel ‘the engineers are working on it’. Poor form Foxtel!!

  • cj_in_aus CJ (@cj_in_aus) reported

    1. After having @Foxtel since 1997 we’ve finally cancelled. Being forced to upgrade to an IQ5 with its constant failings was the last straw. Since upgrading, the ability to watch @abcmelbourne ceased, series link fails & setting a program to record via the app never works.

  • Plasticshinpads MUFC Fan Club (@Plasticshinpads) reported

    @JonDT96 @MelbourneBlokee this is just a dumb tweet to watch AL and EPL it used to cost over 80 bucks a month in HD on Foxtel - it has never been cheaper to watch football in Australia.

  • mizzshoppalott mizz shoppalott 🌸 (@mizzshoppalott) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Apart from televising news etc in regional Australia, it should be a subscription service like foxtel!

  • Jordz_1_1_1 Jordan (@Jordz_1_1_1) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help pretty disappointed that I just spent over an hour on live chat and my problem still isn’t solved

  • Kerry_Barclay The Fisher King 😷💉💉💉💉 (@Kerry_Barclay) reported

    theuir equipment that has stuffed up. They should fix it thems elves or pay for someone else to (like #Foxtel wanted me to do). So i currently just have free-to-air tv & am considering other options. I probably will just stick with free-to-air tv bcos i hardly watch tv nowadays

  • trvllngjwllr ~* Carina *~ (@trvllngjwllr) reported

    @bcurrall80 Because they've never had to compete with other service providers. All my friends have ditched Foxtel and use Kayo now. Even though it's ironically owned by same parent company, it's a much better platform

  • krishykumar Krishneel Kumar (@krishykumar) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Is anyone else’s internet down cause I got no bloody internet light on my router

  • IanBond22509215 Ian Bond (@IanBond22509215) reported

    @YBoyarinov I know that picture is from England. But All they got was a copy . because it was taken down in a office. There was a show on Foxtel . that's all I can tell you

  • cjcaramello Cj Caramello (@cjcaramello) reported

    hey @Foxtel is there problems with #foxtel login? it won't let me login. keeps saying they don't match.

  • Kerry_Barclay The Fisher King 😷💉💉💉💉 (@Kerry_Barclay) reported

    for a quote. The bloke said $250. So i said i'd think about it. But nah, stuff that. Not when i pay #Foxtel $68 a month, hardly use it, & they want me to pay to fix THEIR satellite dish, when i ahven't done a thing to it. It seems it a bit ridiculous. It's their satellite dish,

  • cj_in_aus CJ (@cj_in_aus) reported

    @Foxtel All good thanks… I’ve decided to cancel so no longer need to troubleshoot 👍🏼

  • JBhifidelity73 John Richard (@JBhifidelity73) reported

    @leighchookoo @FOXFOOTY I think the goose was an ex-player co-commentator who piped in with that stupid comment, not Huddo .. voice sounded familiar but I haven't got Foxtel, not sure who it was.

  • CherylCritchley Cheryl Critchley (@CherylCritchley) reported

    @OldmatePunter The Foxtel signal dropped out. Boo! Just got it back...

  • G7WTsteve Steven Georgallis 🇬🇷🇨🇾🇦🇺 (@G7WTsteve) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports That was the promise to sign with the Roosters. I’m surprised the kangaroos came before origin. They treat us like mugs

  • grumpyolkev kevin harrington (@grumpyolkev) reported

    Hey @Foxtel eighty five year old Williamstown customer is being charged $98 per month to not have any Foxtel and you have said there is no technician in the area to help her till December. Is your boss not making enough money?

  • Kerry_Barclay The Fisher King 😷💉💉💉💉 (@Kerry_Barclay) reported

    about #Foxtel. I'll probably cancel Foxtel completely.

  • Kayak_Patriot Kayak Patriot (@Kayak_Patriot) reported

    @Lerepert0ire It's unfair they say! Capitalism does not let people succeed, it keeps people down.. they say.. having lived lives where a capitalist nation lifted them from nothing to every privilege on earth, and where the poorest homes & as likely to have a Foxtel subscription as the richest.

  • ant2608 Barry Antman (@ant2608) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Here’s an idea the money that I pay for my Foxtel which includes Sky News which I’ve never watched and will never watch can be diverted to the ABC - which I do watch.
