    @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.....

    @Katzo60 @smh I know it’s hard in a small country to have meaningful competition but the lack of free to air broadcasts is really bad . The foxtel/kayo offering is pathetic for the money they charge

    @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

    I thought i was tripping out. Good to see others complaining too I dont think there is a shitter streaming service than kayo. Australia is getting helf hostage by this foxtel monopoly.

    Foxtel will keep increasing the price until they can force all their satellite subscribers over to Kayo so they can close down their superior but more cost expensive satellite services. They want to close all the none sport services & eventually Incorporate gambling options

    @BinManIan Doesn't come as a surprise to me. I will clarify that I don't believe P+ product is better than Foxtel but more ⚽ viewers are watching as the cost of P+ is astronomically cheaper than Foxtel. I NEVER paid FT a cent instead I went to games and now I watch a LOT of AL games.

    Realistically Nine are the only FTA TV network that maybe could afford the World Cup rights. Ten would have to partner with Foxtel. Seven...no way could they do it not with AFL, cricket and maybe NRL on their network...they would be paying a lot for all three sports just there.

  • WSWanderingEels
    RichitiGrub (@WSWanderingEels) reported

    @Debre947 More games this year have a FTA component to them than previous. So Foxtel for the AFL will more than likely be down due to competing Free to air and doubling up multiple games and sometimes 3 game like the Sunday just past. Looks rosie but the numbers you don’t see will be poor.

  • wallybechara
    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.

    Given 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

    @NRL That’s ridiculous. That means our @Foxtel will increase. There are only a few teams that are watchable. Not worth it. Will cancel .

    TJ (@fantasyallsport) reported

    @Sharkydave44 Nine has the money from the Domain sale. Yes, Dazn would be incredibly stupid to lose the rights after forking out for Foxtel. Dazn has shown some form in trying to lowball sport bodies I don’t believe the numbers have been agreed on, I do think the NRL would prefer not to move

    @FootyonNine IV'E GONE BACK TO THE ADDS, ON 7, MUCH BETTER THAN THE DUNSTALL CRAP & A GREEN ******* TEST PATTERN , FOR 5 MINUTES , WHAT ******** IS THAT ABOUT, NO COMMERCIALS , THAT WAS THE PROMISE, MORE TEST PATTERN THAN PAULINE'S PRESS CLUB COAT, **** OFF FOXTEL.

    @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 ....

    @ColettaFrank @Gatty54 Foxtel are flooding their ‘crap’ programs with the cringeworthy ads for the circus at the White House, calling it the greatest sports event in history.

    @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.

    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.

    Has PVL sent instructions to Annesley to ensure the Broncos are still in the comp? Part of the rights deal with DZN / Foxtel or what? Downright embarrassing officiating. Off night from Cleary though, his kicking game was poor #NRLPanthersBroncos #PanthersvBroncos

    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.

    Foxtel 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

    @vanOnselenP I wasn't poking fun at you just using a factual example . If this game was on Foxtel / ABC its a non issue .
