    @myco54896926 @Blazebit9 @RealEmirHan Unfortunately Foxtel (Murdoch's) had the exclusive rights in my country at the time and it looked **** and you couldn't even buy it from someone like Apple until a year later and it was only in HD. I had to buy the last season on an Ultra HD Bluray. Then i could appreciated it

    @lauren_vasiliou Have dealt with them a lot, one thing that’s scary is they have no fear, not of police, not scared of consequences. Because the worst they get is Aussie jail for a bit, and that’s 3 hot meals a day, gym and Foxtel.

    @Sam957063743921 @jamesxclean @jarrodwalsh That would've meant a lot, not Foxtel deciding to broadcast his emotional reaction. If you want to see how bad a call that is watch the Crows post of the moment, where they cut Jordan out.

    @JOSH______NZ @skysportnz Did the exact same here with Foxtel, it’s a ****** joke…. Then he got blocked and Croftey goes “I didn’t think it was all that bad to be honest!” They barely acknowledge him at all, it’s farcical.

    @matt__nicholls Yeah sucks. Think foxtel/kayo should focus on getting more sport leave the movies/tv to the streaming sites. Cos fta cant to do sports well. And having sport split over multiple site sucks. Would be so bad if all tennis was on one all motorsport on another but when sports are over 2 or 3 it sucks.

    @matt__nicholls Perhaps DAZN's strategy is just to run out the existing contracts while DAZN pockets the subscription and advertising revenue, then eventually shut Kayo/ Foxtel down.

    @tresantes Not to mention it wasn't even 1080p and had some kind of anti-piracy black strip running up one side. It led to a great article in one of the papers: "Australia doesn't have a piracy problem. Australia has a Foxtel problem".

    @Timrides1966 @LaurenHeraldSun Research DAZN some more. They have a DAZN bet app OS incorporating I believe their streaming service & gambling in the same place. I expect to see a future where Foxtel only does sports. You may (depending on the Govt at the time) be able to bet on sports via the Kayo Fox app.

    @NicNegrepontis Foxtel is borderline unwatchable. Signal dropping in and out. There is no rain and not a breath of wind outside, so the “poor weather” excuse is not valid. Just a poor service all round.

  • winrgrin06
    Daran Murphy (@winrgrin06) reported

    @Ryandally08 Perhaps 7,9,10 and SBS and WIN too who all get a subsidy and tax breaks to broadcast. I mean even Foxtel got $30 mill perhaps shut them down too. Radio….well that’s ****. Shut them down as well.

    @AlboMP Please make Foxtel number one target! They make it very difficult to cancel and make you go through a lengthy phone call. No online or postal option to cancel.

    @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!

    How the hell does #KenHinckley GetARoleCommentatingOnTheShowdown ? He would have to go down as the worst coach in history for a side. Why @FoxSportts @Foxtel making us listen to the worst coach in AFL history ? He’s rich $ stop paying irrelevant conversation !! #AFL #crows port

    @Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

    @kayosports_help moved from Foxtel to Kayo. Mistake. Rarely had an issue with Foxtel, more dropouts and circle of death with Kayo in one month vs 25 years with Foxtel. Running NBN500. If there’s some simple fix let me know. Otherwise, I’ll bank a refund and return to Foxtel.

    @FOXTEL_Help hello there seems to be some issues with the paramount + app when trying to begin an episode of Ghosts (US version) it gets stuck after the preview has finished and as well if you skip the previews, not sure if it occurs with other show or not, please 🙏

    Truly terrible coverage with sound dropouts at the most important moments tonight Foxtel. Not worth the $113/month we pay to simply watch the game. #AFLDonsPies

    @tresantes omg this reminds me of how for like 2 years my dad would pay for foxtel specifically when game of thrones was airing and then cancel it until eventually he gave up and started pirating it 😭
