  • CLASSneeded Try harder! (@CLASSneeded) reported

    Wow @telstra @foxtel. Absolute rubbish service. Awaiting foxtel installation having confirmed availability 48 hours ago. No one turned up in time slot agreed. Now find out that an arbitrary design made to cancel the installation. No call to explain.

  • DebbyDee01 Debby Dee (@DebbyDee01) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help do not help, do not listen. are rude, I going to ombudsman

  • loujo333 ℓσʋ✨ (@loujo333) reported

    Asking in all seriousness, will @Foxtel ever come up with a solution for failed program recordings? It’s not good enough when I ring you just suggest doing a reset, or that maybe too many programs were recording at the same time. Because they weren’t. What am I paying for?

  • Buskin1990 Michael Buskin (@Buskin1990) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help They have followed all of these troubleshooting steps, their service is connected via HFC not satellite if that helps.

  • red_eyed_goat Ash Rogers (@red_eyed_goat) reported

    My old man watches the same Foxtel movies on repeat all the time. How many times can a person watch ‘Top End Wedding’ & ‘Love Actually’ without getting bored? **** he’s weird

  • Amanda65503861 Amanda (@Amanda65503861) reported

    @Oli_Murray @newscomauHQ @WenleiMa Pathetic coverage by ch7! Ads, ads & more ads! Same sports shown over & over. No variety. 2-3m highlight clips if you’re lucky! Hopefully Foxtel picks up the coverage for 2024. Their coverage back in 2016 was better than ch7s crap!

  • homebrandcola Lt Cmdr Timmy (@homebrandcola) reported

    @developerjack @Telstra @Foxtel The fact that you can't reply to stop is house ****

  • domjet Dom (@domjet) reported

    @telegraph_sport @BuzzRothfield Turn the tables, Foxtel subscribers should demand Buzz be stood down from @FOXNRL #NRL360 as his journalistic integrity is terrible!& his agendas are so clear. #sackbuzz

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    In Australia the streaming service Fetch has the same channels as Foxtel and wonder if Foxtel and Fetch are both owned by the same company

  • Ejc11Emma Emma-Jayne Collins (@Ejc11Emma) reported

    @Foxtel Goosebumps!!! When will this air in the UK?? Been a massive fan & never missed an episode, absolutely gutted this is the last ever 😕😟

  • thepuntersclub5 The Punters Ⓜ️ail Bag (@thepuntersclub5) reported

    @Foxtel @Foxtel Well done . You have customer Service representatives that you can't understand & they can't understand you over the phone. You rip your customers off with expensive plans. I wanted to remain a customer & just get a box re-installed & you want to charge me $300 & $90. Wow

  • bozwhite Boz (@bozwhite) reported

    @Footballroos @FootballFocusAU If your tv has a HDMI slot, bang a Chromecast dongle (about $50) in there. It will take about 20 minutes to setup on your home wifi network. Then app may request to see other devices on network and cast that way. Been doing it since November when I ditched bloated foxtel

  • NathanStokes78 Nathan Stokes (@NathanStokes78) reported

    @Foxtel my channels are coming through pixelated since we had a disruption two days ago. Non pay tv channels have been fine and literally as I type another complete outage! 5072.

  • Emily_Aussie94 Emily Hodgson (@Emily_Aussie94) reported

    @MikedeWet @7plus Absolutely terrible!! Foxtel was so much better having a dedicated channel for each sport/ stadium

  • AuzzieKing Litha Thimpthon (@AuzzieKing) reported

    @BenjaminJNorris @Foxtel @Wentworth Sucks its the final season though 😔😔

    @FOXTEL_Help Kindly resolved by excellent customer support.

  • MyfUrban Urban Myf (@MyfUrban) reported

    @LauraSRobinson @neilhimself @skytv My aunt paid foxtel for years and years without using it, at top price too. New subs were a third of her sub...when I tried to cancel, it took hours and hours of calls.

  • johnnymetalisin john metal (@johnnymetalisin) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help go to home page and get loading all day. It just won’t load. Never happened before. Other media working. Internet working perfectly.

  • bensvice Ben (@bensvice) reported

    @hashtagyouwish @TheIPA @australian Calm down Brian. Our tax dollars gave 3 times more Foxtel whose owner is a billionaire. The guy whose minions complain the most.

  • PohlmanJohn John Pohlman (@PohlmanJohn) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help been using FoxtelGo on my Samsung phone for ages but yesterday it wanted a new login but wouldn't accept user name/password. So checked my login details on my PC and all good, even loaded the Go app on and logged in ok, tried phone again using same details but failed

  • PohlmanJohn John Pohlman (@PohlmanJohn) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks but I've checked that and it's only on 2 devices, my phone and my laptop. As I said, my login details work on the laptop version but not the Android version on my phone

  • 4orty6ix 🌛Faustino Rossi🌞 (@4orty6ix) reported

    @kiel1786 @youjustsaycc @SkyNewsAust He just said it is because of the rights to using footage from Olympics so when that comes up it's because there's Olympics **** showing and foxtel can't show any of it but if you watch via there website or some other way you'll see it. Hope that makes sense

  • rararachumz sad dumb ***** (@rararachumz) reported

    @TimmyT_xxx Honestly!!! I swear it never used to be this confusing but it’s also my first year not being able to watch directly on Foxtel

  • alexkrad Alex Taylor (@alexkrad) reported

    **** I do not want to support Foxtel or News Corp

  • Nik0FC Niko (@Nik0FC) reported

    @telegraph_sport @BulldogRitchie If Jimmy gets banned, I’m done with the NRL.I will not watch another game, I’ll cancel memberships,foxtel, newspaper subscriptions, the ******* works!How can any1 be treated like this by their employer and governing body. Who took the photo? Don’t you have anything better to do?

  • ItsProbabyRicho Richo 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻 (@ItsProbabyRicho) reported

    @TheRealALM @FOXSportsAUS This is true, for tablet and phone, but not for Xbox or Playstation tho. And it’s a shocker of an app, terrible interface and needs constant refreshing. Foxtel sucks

  • apenarty Palindrome (@apenarty) reported

    @MehreenFaruqi The word NEWS needs to be removed and the word OPINION inserted. I have done that and have rejected everything about that broadcast. Cancelled my subscription to Foxtel and never read or listen to anything that any of the opinionists write or say.
