GrumpyOldDad.bsky.social (@BjWittwer) reported@xskinn Save your sanity. Screw Rupert Murdoch. Cancel anything through Foxtel, especially the fictional program “Sky News”. If you want something more factual than Sky News, I recommend Nieghbours, Home & Away, Days of our Lives, & importantly, Bluey. #SaveOurABC #FuckBillionaires

Gavin McKenzie (@gav_mck) reportedAnyone else having streaming quality issues with @9Now The Block was fine, @60Minutes comes on, shits itself, completely, frozen? Via @FOXTEL_Help Starlink satellite....
-
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.
-
Darren Cope (@LandscopeInfo) reported@lui_zacher Lui pull the post down. It was a Foxtel error not a game day clock. ****
-
Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported@Tuxy81 @Raiders_24Sep89 You’re both kinda correct - if no FTA network bids, then the rights can go exclusively to Pay TV - but in this instance we know a FTA network has made a bid, so Foxtel/DAZN are compelled to find a FTA partner
-
.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.....
-
Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@TV_Blackbox The only losers would be DAZN (who own Foxtel and Kayo) and Nine (who own Stan) although if Nine keeps FTA rights it wouldn't be quite so bad for them.

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.”

larissa ೀ (@hudconaddict) reported**** my chungus life foxtel of all things is wild 😭
-
Steve Hudson (@SteveHudso95010) reported@JillMarinelli1 What ******** was thi **** I saw it also Absolute vomit material Foxtel better stop it or ill cancel my subscription
-
Leigh (@hinterland33) reported@sportandracing @AussieNinerGuy @footyindustryAU Um Yes AFL broadcast agreement with the Seven Network & Foxtel includes built-in annual indexation Compound Growth: The contract features an in-built indexation rate, which represents a compound annual growth rate of about 3.6% for the rights fees over the life of the agreement
-
TWHM (@TWHM4) reported@KateSchroe51943 I found it on HBO Max on Foxtel. First thing I'd watched on HBO Max. Mainly keep Foxtel for the football, and the odd older movie. Most of it's trash. Costs a bomb, not even close to a value proposition. FTA's also garbage. Refuse to pay streamers.
-
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
-
Dingus wingus (@drewwharton) reported@catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.
-
Fine Cotton (@mr_finecotton) reported@Foxtel u say u provide the best entertainment & sport.... the latest series of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch premiered 19 May 2026 in the USA.... It's July & youre still not screening in Aust - why am I paying $100/mth for second rate service? @HISTORY @BrandonFugal
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic QED. This ALP fool doesn’t know Foxtel rolled out and paid for a cable network for far less $/ customer than the NBN. Foxtel: ~$800–$1,100 per premise. NBN: $2,000–$2,750+ per premise.
-
joan Reynolds (@joanReynolds52) reported@RBJRON @strangerous10 I’m with you. Haven’t bought a Murdoch rag since 1997. Never subscribed to Foxtel and, for my own sanity, never tuned into Sky. Don’t walk into a Harvey Norman shop and avoid anyone else who advertises with the Murdochracy
-
Alice Stewart 🦂 (@Theretributor) reported@Ryandally08 Tony Abbott was made leader by his old mate Rupert Murdoch in order to put a very slow third rate internet system into Australia so it would not render his Foxtel by satellite service as being useless. Rupert has since sold Foxtel.
-
MelMorris (@morrisperry) reportedUm @Foxtel we seem to have a language programming problem hahaha
-
Freo ⚓ Pope (@FreoPope) reported@FkYeahMatt I think Kayo just picks up Foxtel channels & re-packages them into streams. Foxtel is focused on their channels & they stayed to the end of the Swans game that ran over due to a bad injury, before they switched to the AFLW. Don't think Kayo produces shows that are on FoxFooty
-
Jason robert (@JasonR69737) reported@SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus Would the AFL be secretly hoping that Foxtel retain the broadcast rights to the NRL given that it's foreign ownership would have to consider the network's future if it lost the NRL?
-
Tanya (@wade396) reported@FOXTEL_Help please do not tell me you can’t answer me has I don’t have a picture like you did on Facebook. Spent 2 hrs with Tech support 35years customer cannot tape past the 29.6.26. Told someone more senior in tech would call today now nothing.
-
wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported@WSWanderingEels My idea down the track is Saturday 930 nrl game (good for Perth) feeding directly into an earlier super league game. That would get them decent coin. Like when they go to 11 or 12 games. They can afford Foxtel so much more value down the track, afl can’t.
-
Chris Rauchle (@ChrisRauchle) reported@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
-
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.
-
Surf n Turf (@surfnturfnsurf) reported@ParamountPlusAU the Chelsea wanderers game is not working through Foxtel app
-
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
-
the cat (@boogiecat11) reported@LeagueScenePod Paying fans that get kayo or Foxtel shouldn’t be forced to watch grand finals and origin games on a **** free to air with commercials.
-
Richard (@RichardBlackgum) reported@hook_gc @FOXNRL It's Fox, try and cancel foxtel for an elderly relative. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.
-
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.
