-
tsell (@TsellSellersfam) reported@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.
-
Ben (@bennyshelts) reported@andrew_whelan The problem is, it still just uses the same linear channel feeds from Foxtel.
-
NMM (@NeilMur73809257) reported@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.
-
Judy Bourke (@judithbourke) reported@TraceyLee_07 Try Foxtel all it is repeats Really we are paying for a service not repeats
-
mªdcªtjo (stay) 2.0 (metres away from me) (@madcatjo2point0) reported@MikeCarlton01 I watched a few episodes of "The Mansion" (an ABYSMAL sketch comedy show he co-hosted on Foxtel) & as such have always been "triggered" by him. I thought it was me, but nah he sucks. Grace Tame is a deadset legend.
-
emily (@embankss_) reportednever forget when my family had foxtel iq and my dad had every single episode of bar rescue recorded
-
Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@LeagueFreak Kerry Packer believed you bid the maximum you can so if you loose to anyone else - you know they will be worst off than you. Foxtel knows it will lose half their subscriptions if they lose the NRL. And that means it will go broke because they already over paid for the AFL.
-
Nigeyboy (@Nigeyboyl7do) reported@codenrl **** I hope so . I hate channel 9 coverage. Foxtel is the greatest footy network. The people are decent down to earth and care about fans. Channel may have the greatest players ever but it’s a lame boring telecast.
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic QED. This ALP fool doesn’t know Foxtel rolled out and paid for a cable network for far less $/ customer than the NBN. Foxtel: ~$800–$1,100 per premise. NBN: $2,000–$2,750+ per premise.
-
Paulo Yarb (@PauloYarb) reported@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
-
Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported@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
-
mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@Optus @alexblair_1 First thing I would check is Alex on Kayo or Foxtel? Everyone complains about Kayo I constantly have issues with Foxtel through the internet continuously buffering while my download speeds are in the 80s!
-
Scott Patten (@Mehyouthink) reported@footyindustryAU I reckon stays at kayo/foxtel. Look what happened to A-League and Rugby when they left. You never see them on pub tvs anymore. I mean the deal for that might not be worth it but for eyes on product?
-
G. 🇦🇺🇮🇱 🦅🤘🏼 (@geraint266) reported@chadtownsend10 The trouble is Chad, the app is terrible and continually breaks down, if it didn’t do that there would be a lot less complaints. The price has gone up $20 on the last few years and the service hasn’t improved. I pay $107 a month to have Foxtel I can afford it, many cannot.
-
Tanya (@wade396) reported@FOXTEL_Help please do not tell me you can’t answer me has I don’t have a picture like you did on Facebook. Spent 2 hrs with Tech support 35years customer cannot tape past the 29.6.26. Told someone more senior in tech would call today now nothing.
-
yeah yeah its anne (@annabell_JG) reported@FOXTEL_Help everything it rains I loose Foxtel satellite signal even light rain
-
Span (@leespanos) reported@centralNRL Watching the games on the Ch9 1080i broadcast is horrible viewing vs Foxtel true HD and 4k. It just can’t be awarded back to @NRLonNine on this basis alone, with their complete disregard for the @NRL fans viewing experience. Commentary is fine, but low res is just rubbish
-
“Smash Her” (@dougjones90909) reported@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.
-
Fine Cotton (@mr_finecotton) reported@Foxtel u say u provide the best entertainment & sport.... the latest series of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch premiered 19 May 2026 in the USA.... It's July & youre still not screening in Aust - why am I paying $100/mth for second rate service? @HISTORY @BrandonFugal
-
Teresa (@teresa_62) reported@NRL That’s ridiculous. That means our @Foxtel will increase. There are only a few teams that are watchable. Not worth it. Will cancel .
-
Mike Oxbig (@Manbearpigzebra) reportedI wish. The watered down version of World Movies has just as many English speaking films as it does foreign films. The should give it back to Foxtel and allow R rated movies again.
-
Dr G (@DrG2020V) reported@GregDavis006 Imagine the poor ***** who don't have Foxtel and have to watch channel 9 for all their footie all year! I'd just stop.
-
Deb (@cDebIn2050) reported@DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad
-
Matt McDermott (@MattMcDermott74) reported@vanOnselenP I wasn't poking fun at you just using a factual example . If this game was on Foxtel / ABC its a non issue .
-
Jalin Cedar (@JalinCedar) reported@FOXFOOTY It’s almost time to cancel my Foxtel membership this is a disgrace. No mic on the umpire (viewer can’t hear whistle), and this camera angle is off centre? Are you guys serious?
-
DJ Jazzy Not Jeff (@DJ_Jazzy_JD) reported@golfon5 @AFL It was fine on Ch7. Hust a foxtel issue.
-
Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@TV_Blackbox The only losers would be DAZN (who own Foxtel and Kayo) and Nine (who own Stan) although if Nine keeps FTA rights it wouldn't be quite so bad for them.
-
Crowdiegal (@crowdiegal) reportedRealistically 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.
-
Ric S. AU (@RicS37759479) reported@Pivotonian1838 @SkyNewsAust @Foxtel ADS...bad ads for retards,ultratards who might want to light up the ole fishn hole.

Scott (Human) - 𐌃𐌏ᖇ𐌉乙乙𐌃𐌕 (@Dorizzdt) reported**** 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.
