    @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.

    Can't rely on @Foxtel anymore with their programs. Recorded the Cats AFLW Mini replay. 16 mins of Pies Wildcard game first. Then saw 3 mins. Obviously putting in too many ads. Why are we paying for this crap?

    sad example of corporate greed - ring @foxtel to cancel my mother's Foxtel as she has passed away. No offer of sympathy on her passing from the operator but he did among other formalities ask if any other family member would like continue with the contract.

    @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.

    @lui_zacher The foxtel clock froze. The actual time clock was still counting down. So in the end it was explained last night of the coverage & no time was lost.

    @Foxtel I've been a customer for 30 years or thereabouts and I never get offered these prices - not impressed. Foxtel seems to be more and more women's sports with more and more ads - the value for a viewer has collapsed. Why am I charged almost twice what a new customer is charged ?

    @MichaelPascoe01 NRL before the kids. It’s directly related to Foxtel and Nine's broadcast rights with the NRL. Non gambling Advertising revenue is down so the only income these mobs will get for the footy is from Gambling. If labor bans Gambling ads the NRL won’t get same the money for the deal

    @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.

    @Foxtel Was long term customer but quit 2 yrs ago. Best thing ever. No such thing as loyalty. Get a firestick or android box. Even Samsung tv has a heap of freebie channels. No customer, no money. Blockbuster vibes.

    @ReadingThePlay My stream looks like your picture. Terrible stream tonight. Any movement is jittery and awful. @Foxtel need to do better.

    @PhilGould15 Sir, could we please look at starting our own channel to watch just our own games? I'm tired of giving those sour ***** at Fox my money. After listening to Voss and whatever the other has been's name is, I'm ready to cancel Foxtel after 20 yrs.

    Why does ******* Foxtel need 5 firms if if to register a complaint . Seriously get some consumer action scout you for gods sake

    Anyone having issues with Foxtel?

    Mick (@Av_Gas2) reported

    @jake_w0405 @gilby_gillard @kayosports Yep. Use some remote bullshit to cancel a $40/ month subscription with kayo. Only other way to get your sport is via a “sports package” tacked on to a higher monthly subscription with Foxtel.💅🏻 Pricks.

    I wish. The watered down version of World Movies has just as many English speaking films as it does foreign films. The should give it back to Foxtel and allow R rated movies again.

    @leighjones0212 @Foxtel If you’re a CBA customer you can get Binge and Kayo for $17 a month. Ditch Foxtel.

    bomber_stu (@stu0508) reported

    @terrypunter5 @kayosports Hmm. That shouldn't be giving you too many issues. I admit I switched from Foxtel to Kayo a while back to save some $$. My Kayo experience was also very poor, to the point I couldn't stand it and had to switch back

    @catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.

    @ZRistevski @rohan_connolly May have only been an issue on Kayo. I regret disconnecting Foxtel. Kayo sucks.

    @chadtownsend10 The trouble is Chad, the app is terrible and continually breaks down, if it didn’t do that there would be a lot less complaints. The price has gone up $20 on the last few years and the service hasn’t improved. I pay $107 a month to have Foxtel I can afford it, many cannot.

    There are many Foxtel customers in Australia who are eagerly awaiting the day when the Tszyu's are no longer shoved down our throats.

    @Chris1qjt @ItWasATea I just looked up to see if it will be on Hayu here in Aus, and it's currently saying no, only on E network via Foxtel and their VOD services. So streaming on some dodgy site it is, I guess lol

    **** 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.

    @tayser82 I believe Foxtel used as much power as a town the size of Lithgow when it first setup in Macquarie Park but, no, that wasn’t a problem
