    @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.

    @RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.

    Never thought i’d have a phone call with anyone as absolutely useless as @Foxtel All I wanted was a replacement box, it took 1 hour to reach that conclusion. They were supposed to call me back 3 days ago and never did, this was me calling them a second time. 1/2

    Don't pay for any applications or subscriptions. Cancel netflix foxtel etc all streaming platforms we own the phone companies. Delete bank account & open a new one. Information will be readily available at the touch of a finger. You can i read any encyclopaedia or text book Free.

    @thedannorris @hawthornzone @kayosports Can always pay twice as much and buy a Foxtel subscription. But just a warning. You’ll get the same service.

    @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

    @PhilGould15 Sir, could we please look at starting our own channel to watch just our own games? I'm tired of giving those sour ***** at Fox my money. After listening to Voss and whatever the other has been's name is, I'm ready to cancel Foxtel after 20 yrs.

    @robb_j_m Making it useless and bad was the primary purpose of the 2013 Abbott government. Almost certainly at the behest of Murdoch, as it would hurt his Foxtel business.

    Why the bloody hell has foxtel still got the stupid seinfeld channel ? Why not a friends channel ? Or a married with children channel ? A frasier/cheers channel ? So many better options than that absolutely stupid show having its own channel

  • HellenTroy6

    @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???

  • v4daleo
    daleo (@v4daleo) reported

    @MotoGP why do I actually give you money ? Your app coverage is **** and completely inconsistent. No functioning service . Cancelation request incoming. Guess Foxtel gets your money now.

    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

    @Theblackfemini3 I’m with you I have every bloody streaming service but there just all repeats from the old Foxtel and the new crap only a gem here and there but for 3 months now **** all to watch on any of them

    @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.

    Got 500 channels on foxtel. Only channel not working sky 1 Wtf is going on @SkyRacingAU ******* retarded Black screen for last 2 hrs

  • Conigman
    S B (@Conigman) reported

    @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?

    @GusLefty @BenFordhamLive Yeh but we have a choice whether we pay for Foxtel but no choice whether we pay for your ABC! Some people are slow thinkers.

  • FrankieJBroph
    Frank (@FrankieJBroph) reported

    @Quartermain10 "Technical difficulties" don't cover the continuous stuff ups where we watching replays instead of live centre bounce contests. Very poor direction from Foxtel, should be 100% better for the subscription cost!

  • _kjerkovich
    kristen (@_kjerkovich) reported

    @Foxtel can you please fix your Kayo Minis and full replay for the Freo v Hawks game last night?? Having only the 2min Sportsbet Preview available to stream is poor form 20+ hrs later!!!

    Hey @Foxtel the next time I hear your AFL football commentators describe something as "elite", I will 1) Vomit and 2) Cancel my subscription. Enough of this repetitive garbage, I beg you. @AFL
