    @rohan_connolly @colonelhogans Don’t worry too much. Enduring the cats swans on Foxtel was painful. If it wasn’t Dwayne the pain talking ****, it was camera work which failed miserably. Absolute rubbish. Switch over to the pies game and you’ve gotta listen to back door Lyon and Howie. And the umpiring…pfft

    @Sarcastic_Cow @FOXTEL_Help Costs keep going up and standard going down. Few years ago there would be maybe 2 or 3 replays for every club.

    @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.

    @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

    @andrew_whelan The problem is, it still just uses the same linear channel feeds from Foxtel.

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

    @Foxtel Paying $30 a month for an inadequate Kayo app! By far the worst app streaming. Do you think you might fix your painful app so that we can actually use the forward and replay buttons without being pushed to ads or having to start from the beginning???

    @footyindustryAU Foxtel price is at its absolute limit - can’t be jacked. If they didn’t get NRL it was an insta cancel. Now they have so few of the sports it’s no longer a one stop shop it’s a different equation.

  • ___Geo__
    Nat Geo (@___Geo__) reported

    @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?????

    @ItsPoletti foxtel chose 2 clubs that should have never have been picked before dumping the league & now one of them is statement fc

    @ROBUNS @Channel9 @wwos There was some talk about that, but I haven’t seen confirmation. A big problem though is there’s limited space to broadcast a higher bitrate which Foxtel producing it couldn’t fix.

    @BillWiIdin I was on the phone to a foxtel employee who put me on hold 3 times to go and check her son who had broken her leg. At least she was honest about it but yeah a 15min phone call ended up taking 45mins. Not productive at all.

    @RalphyHeraldSun Channel 7 is blurry crap. Hate Grand Final day when Foxtel can't telecast the game in 4k Ultra.

    @C1_1RIS As an international fan, I find it ridiculous that the entire season isnt broadcasted by the same company But it also isn't my problem cuz foxtel broadcasts the whole season

    Late to starting Dynamite because I had to install a new cable box (**** @Foxtel btw). But starting now so hopefully it’s a good show #AEWDynamite

    @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.

    @LeagueFreak If they lose the rights they're finished . the 4 billion they paid for foxtel sports next to worthless when more then half their subscribers move to the streaming service that has the NRL But... Stan & Paramount are serious in taking DAZN out of the Australian market

    wolvesjr34 (@wolvesjr34) reported

    I legit think anyone who pays for Kayo is not very smart. Pay a little more and get access to so much more with Foxtel. Kayo is unreliable, and a rip off... legit the only streaming service I ever tried for one month and was like, nope, never again.

    @A1dynRL @ALeagueHQ Many issues with the A league, its promotion and its coverage. Love to know the audience on paramount + vs Foxtel days… quality of marquee players has gone down hill and it just lacks the spark it had when Melbourne V Sydney on multiple times packed marvel stadium back then

  • JasonR69737
    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?
