  • hayden_viles Hayden Viles (@hayden_viles) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports 100% . Bad look for the game

  • EyesupSC Eyesupsupercoach (@EyesupSC) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports All you clowns 🤡 act like you have never done anything wrong in your life. I dare say there would be some massive skeletons in their closets. Give him a break, he has served his punishment and if the police and nrl got it wrong then shouldn’t you be angry at them about it?

  • mgw200 Mike Graham (@mgw200) reported

    @Colvick I have a similar problem with the MAX app, on Foxtel. Freezes, stops, skips and now I’ve stopped watching it.

  • Socrate90000750 Socrates Miles (@Socrate90000750) reported

    @JosephCarrozzi @Foxtel @DAZNFootball Wait until their new senior executives do an audit and find out that previous/current management over pay for the AFL rights. It’s a boys club Melbourne network that has used the shareholders money to look after their mates in the AFL. AFL will be in for a rude shock soon.

  • Heyagarn Lewdog (@Heyagarn) reported

    @PrimeVideo Trying to watch the World Test Championship in Australia, rubbish quality (won’t buffer to HQ), now website won’t load! You take the cricket away from terrestrial subscription like Foxtel for a lesser service!

  • 22101952 Wilma Wright (@22101952) reported

    @joshthelad3 @MayneReport @Foxtel INR? We had it for free in country NSW. I hated this ****. The only thing I liked was watching their faces whenever Labor won an election. The spruik the most hateful stuff.

  • camelboy33 The Camel 🌳 (@camelboy33) reported

    @damoj88 Dump it mate. Go Foxtel Now. App. No streaming issues. $29 per month.

  • Candour100 Candour (@Candour100) reported

    @DEBOCODEB Every other app works. This is an Android 16 issue as it happened with Android 15. Foxtel wasn't compatible with it and it seems they haven't learnt.

  • Rabbitoh22 GTD (@Rabbitoh22) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports No never what an insult

  • caroline171165 Odin and ember (@caroline171165) reported

    @AussieFlocker I saw it on a foxtel channel think it was show time I couldn't be bothered even watching it for a minute she can't act for crap have better things to watch

  • iosefmann Joseph Mann (@iosefmann) reported

    the only way you can watch the whole series in australia at the moment is either finding the old dvd collection (low quality, equally expensive), a VPN to a US streaming service (doesn't ******* work), or recording the whole series on foxtel (cheap but can take weeks)

  • NathanFisherNF7 Nathan Fisher NF7 (@NathanFisherNF7) reported

    @Foxtel Way to take advantage of older customers. My dad pays $250+/month for an outdated IQ3 box with no rewind, missing channels (Animal Planet, Comedy, etc.), and no real support. Tech help now costs extra — even worse for regional WA customers. Shameful. Do better.

  • galumay Ricky🏄🏼‍♂️🦋 (@galumay) reported

    Just realised Foxtel isnt even showing the ICC WTC Final, saves listening to the awful Aussie commentators anyway, watching on SA SuperSports, seems like they are taking the English Commentary, although its just the build up so... Anyway, GO SOUTH AFRICA! #Cricket #WTCFinal

  • Croneyes King of Sting 🦂 (@Croneyes) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports 360 has become virtually unwatchable never any meaningful footy analysis just opinionated trash talk. Tallis dead set has the IQ of a pot plant and is embarrassing himself. Surely this show cannot survive with this current panel.

  • Candour100 Candour (@Candour100) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help you need to release a beta version for devices running Android 16. The current beta version does not work. This is really poor form as we are now unable to use Foxtel away from home until this is rectified.

  • Miss__Danni Danni (@Miss__Danni) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports And we see woman bashers, drug takers, all sorts still playing the game and are lauded for their spot in the game, this guy gets done, does the time he was given - which wasn’t done by him remember, and he can’t come back and play?? Spare me.. if they aren’t a fave it’s an issue

  • BlipTone Stewart James (@BlipTone) reported

    @DefundTheABC @abcnews 1. Why does broadcast based media need to end? Who is going to put up their hand and pay money to Foxtel channel 7 9 and 10? Most media is vulnerable to technical interference WiFi is vulnerable as well, so the Internet is not fail safe either

  • EelectricP EELectric Podcast (@EelectricP) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Tallis is the worst thing to happen to this show. Arrogant and self righteous

  • shannonl76 ✨No One Special ✨ (@shannonl76) reported

    After over 10 ears being a loyal customer of @Foxtel I am now going to change to fetch. Live chat has no customer skills, I have to ask all the questions and wait for them to finally answer with no help at all.

  • rooboy1988 JT (@rooboy1988) reported

    @GenSoreness_ @damoj88 Foxtel is way more expensive than Kayo but also own Kayo so deliberately make it **** so you get Foxtel instead

  • LachlanB_ WanderingLach 🌏✈️🏈🏏🏉 (@LachlanB_) reported

    @Keg767 Vodafone $5 roaming. Use mobile signal, not WiFi. It has a built in VPN so the phone operates as if still in Australia. Can watch on Kayo, Foxtel app etc. Easy!

  • jaded61 Stevo (@jaded61) reported

    @damoj88 i hate Kayo. But i will never pay for Fox Footy as i won't pay for the foxtel package

  • PlansRjp Robert John Phelan (@PlansRjp) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Buzz is full of **** 🙄🙄

  • palejawsh JOSH BIRD (@palejawsh) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports buzz would be crying poor about this in 3 years time if Ezra was the starting 5/8th for qld. this is old news, get over it. how many indiscretions have there been against now ex player's, yet Fox & Nine both hire them because they are out of the game & are better men? cmon

  • DetroitLemons99 Dariyen Jones (@DetroitLemons99) reported

    @AGissara wouldn't be so **** if it was on foxtel haha

  • Candour100 Candour (@Candour100) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi there. The Foxtel Go app won't open up at all. Have other users experienced the same issue?

  • Crossy333 Crossy (@Crossy333) reported

    @malcolmconn How rubbish is the Prime coverage. FTA TV and foxtel have their issues, but at least they would have given this event the hype it deserves. Prime just feel like they don't give a ****.

  • 147shane Shane (@147shane) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Origin call up is not the issue, he should have suspended for 12 months with a final warning for any future offences. The fact he’s playing shows what a joke the NRL and Broncos are

  • stephenc24 Steve (@stephenc24) reported

    @damoj88 What is the price up to know ? Feels like it’s gone up multiple times recently based on socials. I’m still old school Foxtel which is also overpriced but at least no buffering issues

  • mattman1469 Matt Allen (@mattman1469) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports What BS My question is who is going to kick Qld out of trouble on the 6th tackle when they've only made 20metres to the 30metre line DCE had a very long boot on him, Munster isn't a long consistent kicker, Dearden lacks depth, Ponga has good high kicks but not long kicks
