  The Steps (@mcnamara_team) reported 51 seconds ago

  @clarke3110 @bondiroosters Yep, Kayo is just the revamped Foxtel rip off. The AFL and NRL have let down the supporters, won’t be long until the attendance to games drops because the general lack of interest is.

  @ausbtcclub We get absolutely **** all for working hard here in Oz. I had job and separate business with mates. Struggled for 8 years and everyone made money from the business except us. Electricity, Gas, Foxtel, wages, rent, rates, tax, gst, employee super. @mrYodaJ @fiftyshadezof1

  **** 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.

  @SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus For next years Hall of Fame, will Foxtel be asking Crown to serve meals on plastic plates? The sound of cutlery smacking crockery during Bill Walkers elevation was just horrible TV

  Karalee Katsambanis has blocked me on Instagram, but my complaint is in with Sky via Foxtel who is my streaming platform. If they don’t respond I will be lodging a complaint with ACMA. She could just apologise.

  Foxtel hasn't got a single nrl or afl replay available from this week. What a useless piece of **** this service is.

  @catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.

  @sandylanceley @Channel9 @wwos I think with the new rights deal Foxtel will have the broadcast duties Maybe that may help with the coverage Stand corrected

  I hate watching on nine but **** foxtel and Kayo. Go hard nine.

  My god I thought Foxtel was bad till I joined @PrimeVideo . Fu king disaster company this one

  “Smash Her” (@dougjones90909) reported 24 minutes ago

  @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.

  Jason robert (@JasonR69737) reported 24 minutes ago

  @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?

• 
  Teresa (@teresa_62) reported 29 minutes ago

  @NRL That’s ridiculous. That means our @Foxtel will increase. There are only a few teams that are watchable. Not worth it. Will cancel .

  NMM (@NeilMur73809257) reported 32 minutes ago

  @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.

  @Cryptozoologis7 @SCWhisperer Slater and Smith are as bad as the two you mentioned. Thank goodness for Foxtel. Channel 9 suck!

  @fa37376 Do you understand how much money Qatar and the UAE have? Saudi Arabia have a minority stake in DAZN who bought Foxtel which plays Sydney games on it. They can’t take it back, but they could have easily renewed the sponsorship, instead they turned down the money.

• 
  Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported 36 minutes ago

  @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.

  GrumpyOldDad.bsky.social (@BjWittwer) reported 46 minutes ago

  @xskinn Save your sanity. Screw Rupert Murdoch. Cancel anything through Foxtel, especially the fictional program “Sky News”. If you want something more factual than Sky News, I recommend Nieghbours, Home & Away, Days of our Lives, & importantly, Bluey. #SaveOurABC #FuckBillionaires

  @lui_zacher The foxtel clock froze. The actual time clock was still counting down. So in the end it was explained last night of the coverage & no time was lost.

• 
  Brython (@Brython14) reported 52 minutes ago

  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

  @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

• 
  Chris Rauchle (@ChrisRauchle) reported 52 minutes ago

  @tayser82 I believe Foxtel used as much power as a town the size of Lithgow when it first setup in Macquarie Park but, no, that wasn’t a problem

• 
  Mike Oxbig (@Manbearpigzebra) reported 53 minutes ago

  I 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.

  @FOXTEL_Help the app my Foxtel app is not working????

  G. 🇦🇺🇮🇱 🦅🤘🏼 (@geraint266) reported 58 minutes ago

  @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.
