    @J20422135 @hbomax Thank you, was just signing up for a Binge trial when you posted this, too lol. Thanks for taking the time to look it up for me. FOXTEL is a huge rip off but hopefully their cheaper streaming service isn’t full of ads and garbage like the main service. Thank you.

  • loverboymedia 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘 (@loverboymedia) reported

    y'all telling me it's available on Foxtel Now? the service I pay $25 a month for??? why was I not made aware of this??

  • diyfs_ Luke Galiazzo (@diyfs_) reported

    @ShaunageAU I still haven’t seen Small Axe as a result! How they haven’t done a package of all those films (yeah, films, call em Telemovies if you pedantic other readers) locally on physical media I’ll never know. Raised by Wolves is an example of top tier being squandered in Foxtel quagmire

  • eveyaus eveyAus (@eveyaus) reported

    @mrmisthios @stephan08235473 @Foxtel They offered me a new box and free for 3 months when I phoned to cancel. I told them to jam it because of Murdoch.

  • DylserX Dylan Browne (@DylserX) reported

    The fact that Foxtel and Binge are displaying #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague with horrible compression and for some ungodly reason PAL speed-up is just so hilarious and par for the course. Did they not get the memo PAL speed-up is a non issue these days? Haha

  • WentworthFan14 WentworthFan (@WentworthFan14) reported

    @leha2014leha @Foxtel Nah Kate is a very talented woman, trust me she doesn’t copy anyone and I really don’t see how the character of Lou is copying Franky in any way. They may share similarities, but I do not see any copying going on. Wentworth only ever honours past characters, there’s never a copy

  • me_dc Karate Warrior II (@me_dc) reported

    @HullKiwi @paulmac_78 Foxtel is more reliable. Only reason I’ve never switched over either.

  • Canticle_Nine Quattro (@Canticle_Nine) reported

    @hbomax It is a travesty that they show your products in poor specs, to the point that they are a liability for your branding as HBO Max. Murdoch will never bother to properly invest in Binge/Foxtel’s infrastructure to make it suitable for 2021. 360p! In 2021.

  • blank_1482 Jason Todd (@blank_1482) reported

    Damn bad weather @Foxtel

  • tashntails mark amara (@tashntails) reported

    @Foxtel During last night Richmond v Carlton game the signal was out every few minutes and as I live in Bunbury WA with no storm activity i was staggered signal went off minimum 40 times during game. Hopefully no such issues in weekends games 🤞

  • Duke2517 Duke25 (@Duke2517) reported

    @DannyBoy7411 @Foxtel They treat existing customers horribly. My deal, been with them from the start, is the more expensive than this deal for new customers and I don’t even have movies. Cancelling soon.

  • TheNightFlower 💩 Up Knit Creek (@TheNightFlower) reported

    @hbomax Anyone know how to watch this legally in Australia? And without a VPN? We don’t have HBO Max here. Can’t afford $100 a month for Foxtel which is full of ads and garbage.

  • CouchMogtato CouchMogtato 🇦🇺 PNG-Tuber (@CouchMogtato) reported

    @seiqunia it is a streaming service like netflix or amazon prime, but it is owned by foxtel which is an australian cable service & they suck

  • ZElawar Zac Elawar (@ZElawar) reported

    I swear, if @HBOMax was available in Australia and @WWE put Raw, SmackDown and NXT on the Network, We would have no reason to keep Foxtel.

  • Cottees THINK about cats 🐱 Donut President 🍩 (@Cottees) reported

    @GendoWasRight I can see it for ‘free’ cause it’s on the payTV service here in Australia, Foxtel. No real interest in seeing it though. Didn’t like the original and probably won’t like the new cut.

  • ImaMalaca Ima Malaca (@ImaMalaca) reported

    @LukePGavin You obviously have @foxtel where the ads never STOP for any shows to begin.

  • blue_lotus__ Ruth Crocker (@blue_lotus__) reported

    @Foxtel I’m disgusted @Foxtel. We already pay that and you’ve taken the on demand and store rental functionality away just to force people to upgrade to iQ3 and iQ4 boxes! Why are loyal customers being penalised?! We pay for a service. It’s up to you to provide the equipment.

  • 4damCooke Adam Cooke (@4damCooke) reported

    @Foxtel And for your absurdly expensive service you get ads, ads, ads, ads and some more ads.

  • Jack_Quigley Jack Quigley (@Jack_Quigley) reported

    .@FOXSportsAUS So are you guys ever gonna use that ultra HD channel for live sport again or can I safely cancel that now? Also, stop showing the America’s Cup. Nobody cares. Literally nobody. It’s over. Stop showing it. God Foxtel is such a **** show.

  • _sammi06 Samantha 🍾 (@_sammi06) reported

    C'mon Foxtel hang in there I know the rain is bad but be strong

  • ZElawar Zac Elawar (@ZElawar) reported

    Oh, and Foxtel’s awful adjusting volume and not having to pause it all ******* night because of my dog being a nuisance (Sheeva, play with your toys, dont bite my hands!) or family interrupting would have improved the experience. #SnyderCut #JusticeLeague

  • ozjad Jay Dee (@ozjad) reported

    @bajo Worst thing is that Binge is also owned by Murdoch/Foxtel and I rufuse to give money to that cancer on our democracy.

  • blue_lotus__ Ruth Crocker (@blue_lotus__) reported

    @Foxtel Also, if you want to keep people from leaving in droves, let people pick their own channels in their package! Half the channels we never ever watch but we are forced to have them. Be flexible and stop being so greedy! You have plenty of competition, yet never reward loyalty.

  • colegj mis-hit (@colegj) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Is the Foxtel signal now weaker than previously?? Anyone else having constant problems everytime it rains???

  • loverboymedia 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘 (@loverboymedia) reported

    @poofy_sibi hang on.... I already had a Foxtel now sub... I thought... it wasn't on there

  • EtymousPlough The Captain & Schlemiel (@EtymousPlough) reported

    @Foxtel Is that Brian Cox? Also, **** FOXTEL

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help It’s ok it got affected by weather issues as we have had heavy rain in Central Coast in NSW

  • YeahhhhBuddddy Temple of Boom Bap (@YeahhhhBuddddy) reported

    @SFynmore @cnni @Foxtel Damn. I watch it exclusively on Fetch as the quality is better and I don't have foxtel multiroom. Oh well, MSNBC it is

  • CGMakin Wheeler (@CGMakin) reported

    @Foxtel Absolute disgrace. 20+ year subscriber and treated me with contempt. Foxtel is a dieing business model and with a total lack of customer care.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I did that already to fix my channel lineup when it had a previous problem that got fixed as my aerial stopped working in a storm and had to be fixed.
