Corey Wright (Mr. CW) (@RealCOZZASAIDSO) reported@GrumpyPigeon @7plus Glad I recorded on Foxtel to watch properly. I thought it was a Copyright issue with the Doctor Who stuff. It actually has both audio/video messed up. Hopefully is fixed soon to watch properly.

Jackie Chan (@JackieChan87805) reported@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 !!

I’m an 8️⃣1️⃣🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 (@geranium555) reported@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.
-
ClayChucky (@claychuckyclay) reportedGiven how much we pay for @Foxtel it would nice to see more flexibility like the US version. Why dont we have incar camera choice, maps, timing screens? Why do we get the bog standard international feed with crap biased Sky commentary? Upgrade please or give us @Apple @F1
-
bamberee/Bree (@bamberee) reportedFoxtel asking me if I’m sure I want to delete the two recordings of the game.. never been surer of anything. Would’ve deleted it even if we managed to scrape the win in at the end. #AFLTigersEagles
-
James Jones (@JamesyJones) reported@OMGTheMess Hahaha. Yeah televise women’s sport. That was proven to be bs. That’s what they ‘claimed’ it was for. And estimates proved not a single additional women’s sport was televised. Also Foxtel never even asked for the money or reported what they did with it. $40m given away.
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....
-
Teresa (@teresa_62) reported@NRL That’s ridiculous. That means our @Foxtel will increase. There are only a few teams that are watchable. Not worth it. Will cancel .

mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@Optus @alexblair_1 First thing I would check is Alex on Kayo or Foxtel? Everyone complains about Kayo I constantly have issues with Foxtel through the internet continuously buffering while my download speeds are in the 80s!
-
Stewart Noble (@Stewy_Noble) reportedHey when is the app coming for Android 17, can't log in for weeks now. Why am I paying you for no service? @Foxtel
-
Jason W. (@The_real_J_Web) reported@ReadingThePlay My stream looks like your picture. Terrible stream tonight. Any movement is jittery and awful. @Foxtel need to do better.
-
Paul Corlson (@pauljc26) reportedMan @Foxtel have some utter trash shows on the service now, they want to hope they get the tv rights for the NRL again or people will leave in droves
-
Athena's Ivory Bracelet (@fuckthebracelet) reported@Foxtel @binge Obviously they could prove me wrong, but shows like Housewives don't work with a cast full of polished, self-aware types. This is basically why S5 was a let down. The newbies were way too conscious of how they would be portrayed.
-
Matlock (@Matlock47825386) reported@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.
-
.H.Ɔ.ꟼ (@IWasBornIn1975) reported@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.....

John Davidson (@johnnyddavidson) reportedReported in The Courier-Mail today: The NRL’s plan to save Super League could be on the brink of collapse in what would be a devastating blow for the English game. The ARLC has been investigating a Super League rescue package for the past year, but it’s understood UK broadcaster Sky Sports is reluctant to come to the party with a palatable deal to satisfy the NRL’s investment strategy. There are suggestions DAZN, which now owns Foxtel, could support a Super League rescue package after former NRL CEO Andrew Abdo travelled to the UK in April for Super League buyout talks.  The Super League could be in trouble. Picture: Alex Livesey/Getty Images But V’landys says the Super League deal could hit a deadend. That would be a potentially fatal blow for an ailing English game which is drowning in debt. Super League giants St Helens lost $6.5m alone last year. “Look, we’re trying to make the figures work at the moment, but unless the figures work, we won’t do it,” he said. “We’re having trouble making the figures work, that’s the truth of it. “I don’t know what will happen. I find it very tough (to proceed with a purchase). “We need to talk further with Super League. We haven’t put a proposal into them yet. “We understand the importance of the international game, so we’re not giving up.”

COOPS 😎 (@sportandracing) reported@LeagueFreak Foxtel don’t have any issues.

Yeezalicious (@Yeezalicious69) reported@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
-
mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@simmoh666 @FOXTEL_Help @Foxtel Everytime Kayo plays up I find Foxtel is no good too. I just presume they using the same platform to stream with. Paramount were crap for two year just with sports the rest was good. They obviously took notice and worked to improve their technology & fixed it! Or viewers dropped
-
Mike David (@illhp_mike) reported@thebigjohnnyd @MercJestr I had recorded something on my Foxtel box, came back to watch it and it wouldn't play it because they no longer had the rights to it. FFS not asking you to keep streaming it, but let me watch what's recorded. This never happened back in the olden days when I recorded to a VCR

Scott (Human) - 𐌃𐌏ᖇ𐌉乙乙𐌃𐌕 (@Dorizzdt) reported**** this, I'm going out today to spend $3k on a media setup. I'm going back to just pirating TV/Movies. It's not because I am not willing to pay, its I am tired of paying subscription services and having everything so fragmented and being Nickel and Dimed by the services. When we worked on HD Streaming in the 2000's we set the foundation up for the industry to make video possible more easier. Even back then convincing Hollywood / TV Networks to abandon physical media for streaming was a huge undertaking in itself. They just were ******* in contracts with the creators of content and couldn't find a way to make online work. Fast forward 20 years later and this is the **** we end up with. It literally is just easier to pirate than its to keep doing this. atm I pay for: HBO Max Stan FoxTel Primewire Paramount Netflix Disney+ BritTv (i forgot to cancel the trial fml) AppleTV+ Its about $160 a month AUD I can't find half the **** i want to watch and the stuff that I want to watch is full of ads, or you have to then pay extra ontop. I'm out. stfu ... I'ma use AI to setup a complete end to end media experience.

Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@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.
-
Kurt (@kurtjj95) reported@centralNRL Holy ****, we are finally close to being rid of Matt Thompson. Go on Foxtel

Punt Road Ferraris (@sk44476342) reported@ZRistevski @rohan_connolly May have only been an issue on Kayo. I regret disconnecting Foxtel. Kayo sucks.

Judy Bourke (@judithbourke) reported@TraceyLee_07 Try Foxtel all it is repeats Really we are paying for a service not repeats

Briggsy (@champingyon) reportedThe Foxtel commentary team for this Titans vs Manly game could be the worst of all time....

X- Y Bailey 🇦🇺🇳🇿 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇮🇹 (@Bailey92035278) reported@EdSaint61 After channel nine just cut NBN news channel 9 don’t deserve any right to NRL rights I hope channel 7 gets it and Foxtel stays too **** channel 9
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reportedHad to get. IQ5 replaced because it doesn’t have sound and the replacement one is doing the same. How bad are we treated by @Foxtel for the lousy bloody products at globally high prices. Going to make a ACCC complaint. Bloody useless
