Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • goonerw Greg (@goonerw) reported

    @bigjsl Foxtel's just as bad and you're paying for the ads there.

  • AnthonyP2201 Anthony Pirrello (@AnthonyP2201) reported

    @JulianBuff Why can’t they just add it to a current streaming service like Optus Sport or Stan… gone are the days of foxtel 🥲

  • Wayneyid Wayne Hudson (@Wayneyid) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks I’ve already done that, the problem is the version listed is only up to andriod 10, Nvidia is now 11

  • annaspargoryan anna s-r (@annaspargoryan) reported

    @oliyoung When I cancelled my Foxtel I realised I don’t know where my aerial plug is and have never watched live TV again

  • MurrayLee16 Murray Lee (@MurrayLee16) reported

    @LCHF_Matt @ScoopsMegan No. of years ago I took out a Foxtel sub because: i) I could get the news live rather than 1 hour delayed in summer; & more importantly ii) it was then still news rather than entertainment Sadly, staff influx from FTA TV means Foxtel now has the same crap passing for news as FTA

  • TinkerTigerBell 💖🦄Stacey🦄💖 (@TinkerTigerBell) reported

    And now the dumb arse wants to switch me to satellite to solve their problem 🙄 @Foxtel is not accepting the problem is at their end

  • frankie_1987 Frankie (@frankie_1987) reported

    @KennyBania_ @macktruck81 @joelgibson No no you should subscribe to every single service available, including foxtel. Big brain

  • kellybakermedia Kelly Baker (@kellybakermedia) reported

    @aristotle1974 @Telstra I have paid for Foxtel for at LEAST THREE YEARS and never EVER used it. Ever. But it is impossible to contact @Telstra to get them to remove it.

  • pauljc26 Paul Corlson (@pauljc26) reported

    I like how @FOXSportsAUS has removed No Ads now cause they are showing ads on the bottom of the screen, @Foxtel is lucky they have sport cause the way this service is going it might not have many subs otherwise

  • JacksonOnerr Jackson (@JacksonOnerr) reported

    @binge_help hi; do you have a rollout plan for 4K to be added to your service i feel the quality of streams is very poor compared to other services, Also curious on live channels would you ever add more channels that are available on Foxtel such as Fox8.

  • iamnotbatman01 matt (@iamnotbatman01) reported

    @Telstra @NBNCo outage in 3185, elsternwick, just on 3pm. No Foxtel cable either.

  • jillyjillaroo jillyjillaroo (@jillyjillaroo) reported

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports Perhaps the Team could tell the officials that they don't need the stupid champagne spray. I believe many women find it quite offensive, and Usman should not feel that he has to run away. That would be true inclusivity.

  • Psyberus Psyberus (@Psyberus) reported

    @GuardianAus Australian Government: $30 million gifted to Foxtel/Rupert Murdoch company - LNP supporter & donor. $22 million gifted to Harvey Norman - LNP supporter & donor. $42 million gifted to Hillsong Church - ran by Morrison's best friend. . . $1 million to support Tonga.

  • TinkerTigerBell 💖🦄Stacey🦄💖 (@TinkerTigerBell) reported

    So now my @Foxtel is not working and the only solution it seems from them is to switch to satellite and not fix this issue🙄 I have a solution and that would involve me saving $139 a month 😡

  • ACOPNate Nathan Patrech (@ACOPNate) reported

    @BigTimStiles @ComicsNerd2 It’s basically foxtel’s streaming service.

  • Elliot_Kerdel Elliot Kerdel (@Elliot_Kerdel) reported

    @andrewbogut @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help The only thing I’ve ever had success with is getting a tech to fix hardware issues quickly… a part from that… mediocre is an understatement

  • CuriosInsight Curious Insight (@CuriosInsight) reported

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports This is a terrible example. Does Usman Khawaja not go to restaurants where Alcohol is served? Does he not go to a beach in Australia? Does he not play in a stadium where alcohol is served? Inclusivity does not mean rigidity on one's part and expecting other's to bend down.

  • wileyfuller Wiley (@wileyfuller) reported

    @seveniste @inkl That sucks. "manual" un-subscription processes are a deliberate barrier for users. There is literally no reason for them other than to stop people leaving. News corp/foxtel is another org that uses the same trick.

  • kellybakermedia Kelly Baker (@kellybakermedia) reported

    I have attempted to cancel Foxtel by Telstra at least a dozen times by phone chat, messenger, text and phone call and I AM STILL PAYING FOR IT. @Telstra what do I need to do make this happen?

  • tgoldswo Dr. Terry Goldsworthy 🇦🇺 (@tgoldswo) reported

    @Foxtel @Wayneyid Same here since the update a couple of days ago Foxtel keeps asking me to log in with the same error code. It used to have to be restarted constantly, they need to fix this or I'll CANCEL.

  • willwein William Weinberg (@willwein) reported

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports Usman had to inconvenience 10 team mates and interrupt the celebration for his irrational stance on alcohol? Isn't there only a restriction on drinking the stuff? What's the hang up on not coming in to contact with it? Doesn't he use alcohol based hand sanitizer?

  • luke_carnovale Luke carnovale (@luke_carnovale) reported

    @andrewbogut @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help You should have a direct line to the GM of foxtel... if they cant help you. Then god help us.

  • ACOPNate Nathan Patrech (@ACOPNate) reported

    @BigTimStiles @ComicsNerd2 But without being ****, like foxtel

  • Wayneyid Wayne Hudson (@Wayneyid) reported

    @Foxtel Error code af4013, I’ve tried contacting the help line and get cut off when no one can help me.

  • scrumblebum1 Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reported

    Still having issues with @FOXTEL_Help ….results now no response as I mentioned I might want some compensation.

  • psossic Pirate Pete (@psossic) reported

    @andrewbogut @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help Mate, when they answer, ask them what country they’re in. Then insist that you want to speak to somebody in Oz. They have to transfer you. Every time I’ve done this, Oz customer service has been great and has offered improvements to my package. Support Oz jobs. Dobro🤙

  • emptycab Ed Healey (@emptycab) reported

    30 million to foxtel...40 million to hillsong 450 million to the gbrf..22 million to gerry harvey tonga has an emergency call for help..1 million gee the budget must really be stuffed

  • Wayneyid Wayne Hudson (@Wayneyid) reported

    @Foxtel have you fixed your app to work on Nvidia shield, I’ve been off two days into a 3 months trail, it’s not looking good and I’ll probably cancel tomorrow if no update.

  • WestAussieLeeds WestAussieLeeds (@WestAussieLeeds) reported

    @Foxtel Such a shame. After 20 years I had to cancel due to circumstances. Those circumstances have now changed but after several calls and messages they are not interested in getting me back just by honouring my previous package. Ah well. My money can go elsewhere.

  • believekong travelman (@believekong) reported

    @MrKRudd Surely a Royal Commission must be set up after Labor wins the election. Morrison's failings must be brought into account. Each death. Slow on quarantine, vaccinations, RATS, no free rats, aged care shambles, rorts, corruption- grants to foxtel, great barrier reef $$to mates.
