  • allrite allrite (@allrite) reported

    Why would any non-sports nut pay for a Foxtel subscription? There are so many channels but nothing worthwhile to watch. Pity this apartment's TV doesn't support casting.

  • Savreach Savonomics (@Savreach) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help This fix isn't working for me and your call centre wait times have been "1-2 hours" for days when I try to resolve the issue by phone

  • NancyGeorges Nancy Georges (@NancyGeorges) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help we have been more than patient. We ordered a new box over a month ago. On demand doesn’t work on our box - u turned that off to force people to the new boxes - which are not available! The box has stopped working AGAIN. We are paying a lot of money for no service.

  • pinstripe1234 Michael Winkler (@pinstripe1234) reported

    @Foxtel Anyone who is considering getting Foxtel, I would implore you to look elsewhere. Streaming services are much cheaper and provide a better service. Foxtel is a dinosaur that forgot to die.

  • SpyVsSpy20 SpyVsSpy (@SpyVsSpy20) reported

    @AndrewPWhite77 @TurnbullMalcolm Spend public money on sports grants? On reports? On defence ? On Foxtel? With hopes of support?

  • Louisevangelid2 Louis evangelidis (@Louisevangelid2) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Your service is second rate I’ve been without Foxtel for 2 weeks,I have 3 accounts and I’m going to cancel them No wonder Foxtel is losing customers

  • GreenScreen3r GreenScreen3r (@GreenScreen3r) reported

    @Foxtel True ... never been easier to not choose Foxtel

  • TezMillerOz Tez Miller reading Lydia Kang's ***** AND ABSINTHE (@TezMillerOz) reported

    Anyone else in VIC having difficulty accessing free-to-air channels via their Foxtel? Not just 10shake, which we've never had, but now it won't show 10, ABC, SBS, 7... I've had to access them via the TV itself. (Except the SBS channels don't work via the TV.) Really annoying.

  • HrabarPaul Paul Hrabar (@HrabarPaul) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help No signal at all. Tells us iQ 4 Box will take a moment but doesn’t show anything and Red light doesn’t turn to blue. Remote light keeps flashing too.

  • njm8686 Nick Mitson (@njm8686) reported

    @Foxtel why is nobody helping me? My IQ4 has been broken all week. Don’t ask me to turn it off and on again. I have contacted you guys EVERYDAY trying to sort this. You’re happy to take my money but not happy to fix your problem #customerservicefail

  • willijet joe williams# (@willijet) reported

    @1Swinging_Voter This is the main reason we cancelled our Foxtel dont miss this crap

  • RaeDowd18 Rae Dowd (@RaeDowd18) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Just letting you know I cannot pay Foxtel till the 23rd had to do car registration pay Go MasterCard **** all money left so sorry about that will come right next time round ..

  • Pam_SA15 Pam (@Pam_SA15) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help OK update from me. Procedures mentioned above work BUT took away the ability to 'rewind' live shows. Only way to fix that was full system reset. Done, fixed, lost ALL previously recorded programs! I do hope there is some sort of compensation for this whole damned mess!!

  • Protenpinner Clifford Stewart (@Protenpinner) reported

    Of course 🙄. Ball goes out but because Foxtel cut the amount of cameras we have to use the halfway line camera to tell if it went out. ******* **** show #MACvBRI

  • _Robdiggity Rob D (@_Robdiggity) reported

    @Foxtel @ALeague @WLeague Dedicated women's channel? No way! Maybe you'll get a live feed that doesn't cut out every 5 minutes to go with it? Here's hoping!

  • GeoffPiper2 Geoff Piper (@GeoffPiper2) reported

    Is there anyone worse than @Foxtel to deal with. Worst customer service company I have ever dealt with.

  • GeoffPiper2 Geoff Piper (@GeoffPiper2) reported

    @Foxtel Worst customer service organisation I have dealt with. Charge more. Provide less. Full of ads.

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @Foxtel But never a worse time to choose Foxtel. **** off Rupert, I have youtube now.

  • Pam_SA15 Pam (@Pam_SA15) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help OK so since this 'fix' my re-wind function no longer works???

  • jblow19442019 jblow19442019 (@jblow19442019) reported

    @Foxtel your service, product and support are SO bad you deserve to suck the sweat from a dead man’s *****!

  • pitakele pitakele (@pitakele) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hello, Foxtel Go works okay my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, Android 11 in tablet mode, but when I switch to Samsung DeX (desktop mode), the app opens but videos do not stream. Is there a solution for this?

  • ClickCollins Click 🙂 (@ClickCollins) reported

    Just turned off @Foxtel AGAIN as there is nothing but utter crap on & I've watched the full @SkyNewsWeather loop. And seriously, ruining my Saturday morning cartoons with season 26 Simpsons is just an insult. I've threatened it before but the end is coming after 16 years

  • ChrisNMcDowell Chris McDowell (@ChrisNMcDowell) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help My account has been suspended due to lack of payment. I have since made the payment & tried to reactivate my account and now it won't accept my card despite taking money from it earlier this week. How do I rectify this problem?... thanks in advance

  • xxLucyRogersxx Lucy Rogers (@xxLucyRogersxx) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help These steps don’t work!!!!!this is a joke! Paying for nothing, not even good customer service

  • HrabarPaul Paul Hrabar (@HrabarPaul) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help This is the 4th Day of no Foxtel. Please help

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @CGMakin @Foxtel Cancel. And when their call centre operator throws more and more free stuff, still cancel. They will do whatever they can to keep you on board, but you can do it. Get rid of Foxtel.

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @demoncleanser @GreenCap13 @Foxtel We are paying for Foxtel's coverage, through that damn government grant for them to cover womens sport

  • krunchymoses Joel Hill (@krunchymoses) reported

    @jono_miller Foxtel and Binge - I believe you get a few months free if you're a telstra customer which is pretty sweet.
