  @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?

  Just received a text from Telstra, I thought it was about today's outage but no it was a more important issue, they were having issues billing customers their Foxtel subscriptions. They will organise refunds for over charges. The important things. #telstraoutage

  @H_the_Strange @FOXTEL_Help I'm going to go through what we've got and cut it back to the basic. Maybe even get rid of it for the summer and come back as a new customer in March. They offer new customers cheap packages. But don't give that offer to existing ones. As you say, they don't care.

  **** this, I'm going out today to spend $3k on a media setup. I'm going back to just pirating TV/Movies. It's not because I am not willing to pay, its I am tired of paying subscription services and having everything so fragmented and being Nickel and Dimed by the services. When we worked on HD Streaming in the 2000's we set the foundation up for the industry to make video possible more easier. Even back then convincing Hollywood / TV Networks to abandon physical media for streaming was a huge undertaking in itself. They just were ******* in contracts with the creators of content and couldn't find a way to make online work. Fast forward 20 years later and this is the **** we end up with. It literally is just easier to pirate than its to keep doing this. atm I pay for: HBO Max Stan FoxTel Primewire Paramount Netflix Disney+ BritTv (i forgot to cancel the trial fml) AppleTV+ Its about $160 a month AUD I can't find half the **** i want to watch and the stuff that I want to watch is full of ads, or you have to then pay extra ontop. I'm out. stfu ... I'ma use AI to setup a complete end to end media experience.

  @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

  @FOXNRL Tallis would be the main reason I cancel my Foxtel. Can’t watch 360 because of that Neanderthal.

  “Smash Her” (@dougjones90909) reported 25 minutes ago

  @NRLMedia What an awful outcome for fans. Higher prices. Still have to watch the biggest games on nine in their ****** “HD”. Games covered by nine still not in 4K on Foxtel. ******* pathetic. It’s 2026 FFS, not 1990.

  TJ (@fantasyallsport) reported 27 minutes ago

  @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

  Mark Fawcett (@mfawcett1977) reported 30 minutes ago

  @Tuxy81 These streaming companies will never learn. Prices here in Australia are more than the Foxtel everybody replaced them with. Streaming was meant to be cheaper than cable, but here we are.

  @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.

  Yo Foxtel, every bloody time android updates you're way behind. Why am I paying a bill for a service I'm not receiving? I'm even on your beta test and you're still slow. I'm relying on your app on holiday ATM and nothing! #freebills @FOXTEL_Help

  Nat Geo (@___Geo__) reported 34 minutes ago

  @kayosports how do you expect people who live in remote Australia to be able to watch any live sports? These restrictions are absolutely ridiculous and anti consumer. The only way I can watch anything that Kayo has access to is by paying full price to a Foxtel service box?????

  also this was produced by the biggest australian television network yet it was no where to be found on streaming?? how does that work foxtel 🤨

  @DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad

  @StanSportAU we don’t want advertising during live sport. That’s the deal I signed up to. Now you’ve changed the deal. I’m a Premium continuous customer paying $42 pm. Just like I cancelled #foxtel I will cancel you. #9entertainment

  @footyindustryAU Well if that happened I would immediately stop my foxtel service

  @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.

  @IWonderWhyNow @Foxtel Like ffs, Carlton made it a 3pt game & the 1st thing kingy mentions is that Daicos has been on the bench for a few minutes....... *******.

  @Foxtel I am trying to login to the app, it buffers, then does nothing and I have opened and closed it many times!

  Yeezalicious (@Yeezalicious69) reported 45 minutes ago

  @PollyPorridge My town didn’t have channel ten until I was like 12? Or maybe later so if you didn’t have Foxtel you never saw it, and when I visited my aunty in Adelaide it was banned so it was a double whammy

• 
  Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported 48 minutes ago

  @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

• 
  Alice Stewart 🦂 (@Theretributor) reported 49 minutes ago

  @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.

  @ZRistevski @rohan_connolly May have only been an issue on Kayo. I regret disconnecting Foxtel. Kayo sucks.

  Crowdiegal (@crowdiegal) reported 50 minutes ago

  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.

  TITO (@TitoPerez89) reported 52 minutes ago

  @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.

  @pantherman45 Kayo is all ready $46 a month for a flawed service. How much does it go to if Foxtel has to pay more for the NRL?

• 
  S B (@Conigman) reported 56 minutes ago

  @footyindustryAU Can i ask a stupid question? Why did Dazn need to buy Foxtel? Why couldnt they just save there cash and bid for the rights of the NRL, AFL when it comes up etc? I mean Foxtel (Fox Sports) are worth nothing without the rights in the first place?

  @strangerous10 @ItsBouquet Why does anyone take notice of our former unelected PM. Poor Foxtel backing a losing supporter of the LNP, who are being replaced by One Nation. Will Pauline now get top billing?
