FOXTEL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AcousticAri 𝒥𝒥 (@AcousticAri) reported

    @Foxtel_Newsroom @Foxtel What happens when internet connection goes down though? I’m assuming you miss all tv and recordings will stop too?

  • diversetechgeek Anthony Dean (@diversetechgeek) reported

    The other post update was figuring a good idea to add Wikipedia links to the mentions of Crave, Foxtel, and BBC iPlayer. (Mentioned in case a non-US person asks in the comments why I didn't address XYZ streaming service in their countries...since it's happened before...)

  • chrismelb1979 Chris (@chrismelb1979) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Having issues on IQ2 box with certain channels. HD was unwatchable. Tightened cords, powered off. Now HD channels are working, but not all standard channels. Black screen or just pixellation

  • Fishman_Dan Daniel Cohen (@Fishman_Dan) reported

    @prestontowers Wasn't it more about the coax network is used to run on, and was found to be grossly inefficient? And if you timeline it, Foxtel were extremely late to the streaming party, particularly for a company that seemingly had the technology (and funds) in the palms of their hands.

  • JFerg_putzz John Ferguson Reynolds (@JFerg_putzz) reported

    @Foxtel 12 adds every 6 mins watching 911 one day wtf !! Foxtel

  • GQuattromani Geoff Quattromani (@GQuattromani) reported

    @Benb55 @FOXTEL_Help I need it connected so I keep FTA channels but also if the internet goes down, the dish should act as redundancy.

  • Benb55 Ben B (@Benb55) reported

    @GQuattromani @Foxtel One in each room, for 2 TVs. You’d think you could login from each TV to one box. Disappointing.

  • LukeMoriarty66 Luke Moriarty (@LukeMoriarty66) reported

    @producersnoogs @offherchops can the WWE Universe in Australia get a shout out? They're doing it real tough. No other alterative on Foxtel, all entertaining talents (esp Aussies) fired, terrible writing. Locked down and we get this. uggghhh

  • mynameisrowdy Rowdy (@mynameisrowdy) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help The Cancel My Subscription button on the Foxtel Now page seems to be broken

  • FakeAntonChigur Fake Anton Chigurh (@FakeAntonChigur) reported

    @BenHopkinsAus Yours and my favourite Andrew Clennell was on Sky declaring himself an “essential worker” that should be given exceptions to travel. Funniest thing on TV. On second thoughts if FOXTEL keep putting this 💩 on I’ll cancel my 2 premium subscriptions.

  • lubiephil 💧LubiePhilrunfreeFionn (@lubiephil) reported

    @prestontowers That wasn't the whole argument, the NBN was a considered a threat to Foxtel for streaming. But then, a watered down non FTTP multimix technology started using and paying *checks notes Foxtel for coaxial bandwidth.

  • captain78140963 captain kirk (@captain78140963) reported

    @Telstra Hours never happend, then a promise again to call 24-48 later never happened also. We hadn’t received a order number only a reference number from the text chat. Tiffany had changed our plan keeping our nbn and cutting off our foxtel and giving us a free Telstra tv box

  • NeilEvansmail NEIL EVANS (@NeilEvansmail) reported

    **Yet again on the end of some of the worst & rudest @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help home service u could ever imagine!! #thatsall

  • chestnutcollect Chestnut Collector (@chestnutcollect) reported

    @Foxtel_Newsroom @Foxtel Online chat team, 2 x members no idea on this and only use automated responses but apparently they are human, so called 131999 and onto third person who has no idea about it and said I’ll transfer your “issue” to another team member. Honestly you couldn’t train worse service.

  • ChrisOber ChrisOber (@ChrisOber) reported

    Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing @foxtel cable outage for the last 72hrs in the #Sydney area. Have tried contacting their support lines, though received a sub-optimal experience.

  • CosmicMatt92 Matt Percival (@CosmicMatt92) reported

    @SkyNewsAust And yet Foxtel itself is going down the drain.

  • grantpallant Grant Pallant (@grantpallant) reported

    @ozcjr @Foxtel That’s good I can’t get as I am already satellite customer and nbn not good enough

  • Peter217945 magpie (@Peter217945) reported

    Ah. CENSORSHIP in Australia. Cannot get SKY NEWS Regional now. Have tried to re scan Channels but now it doesn't come up. Ah. Now we're forced to swallow The wonderful world of Crap Mainstream Media. Channel 7/9/10/SBS/ABC.... Not that I will. Have Foxtel. Disgraceful Australia.

  • JustJimWillDo Jim Campbell (@JustJimWillDo) reported

    @little_mavis It appears that it is on Foxtel which I don't get because forget giving Rupert any of my money. It is also on a streaming service I've not heard of before, the wonderfully named Binge. It seems to take place on a nuclear submarine. I have no knowledge of the conditions therein.

  • JFerg_putzz John Ferguson Reynolds (@JFerg_putzz) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help 12 adds every 6 mins wtf !!!!! Foxtel watching 911 one day

  • MclayAce Ace (@MclayAce) reported

    @Foxtel Oh maybe Joan not all bad ? Cant wait see it tonight

  • Brendan11057678 Brendan Patterson (@Brendan11057678) reported

    @FoxtelTest Why is my Foxtel displaying a F0100 error code? How do I fix it?

  • ProwoodStuff ProwoodStuff  (@ProwoodStuff) reported

    @nickjr This legit almost made me tear up, I got in incredibly late so I only saw reruns. Then my parents pulled the plug on the Foxtel IQ1/2 [Dunno which one] so I never got to watch it again. I legit miss those days...

  • AKtech2021 AK (@AKtech2021) reported

    hey @Foxtel @Foxtel_Newsroom @FOXTEL_Help does the iQ5 support dolby atmos ?

  • TH79Games TommaHawk79 Games (@TH79Games) reported

    @HoytsAustralia if you go with vaccine passport bullshit then i am canceling my membership its much cheeper to wait and watch movies on foxtel as much as i enjoyed visiting the cinema i dont support this discrimination the cinema era is dieing this might be the end of it goodbye

  • yolly1234 Stephen Yolland (@yolly1234) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I have a different technical issue affecting my service which your call centre could not fix. I was promised a call back in ten minutes. Over an hour ago. Not happy.

  • captain78140963 captain kirk (@captain78140963) reported

    @Telstra Brandon great to have you onboard! We wanted to cancel foxtel and get a Telstra tv. I went in store to do this. They said it would be quicker to lodge through complaints dept, they did this for me. We received a call 2 weeks ago from Tiffany.

  • gerrydir Gerry Keating (@gerrydir) reported

    @Foxtel why is your website so bad. I simply wanted to choose a package, pick so add ons, impossible. Tried your salespeople, they did not know about multi screen, were not sure of monthly costs. Do you train your staff? #FoxtelFailAgain

  • STlFFDYLANS jigsaw (real) (@STlFFDYLANS) reported

    @a1iyahswrld foxtel and binge are so awful

  • mrjamesmoore James Moore + (@mrjamesmoore) reported

    @Jessee0923 They’re all from Foxtel or Optus so not really fresh. If that’s the route I’d preferred others. I miss Tara and Adam. But we got Simon so it’s not all bad. Hope Zappa’s and some Melbourne ppl get a go!
