    @wimmerachic Spot on, its sickening. Steve's character was a creation of the same marketing machine. I knew the family when he was a young bloke working with his parents. He was not the Steve Irwin that Terri created. Foxtel is driving me mad with ads about some 24/7 channel of irwin ****.

    @AdamBandt How about this old chestnut. Have kids you pay the bills to raise them. Maybe give up the second car, stop smoking, cut off Foxtel, lose the Apple Watch, iPhone, 4 iPads, grow some food, cook food, bake instead of Uber. Hand down the clothes, Move house, make a sacrifice.

    @Foxtel is there a problem with your broadcast of the #SpanishGP hope it’s fixed by the time the race starts #F1

  • GKoop93 Geoff Koop (@GKoop93) reported

    @LuiFromTheRadio @Foxtel @FOXSportsAUS Seems like they had technical issues but its fixed now

  • pbatters Paul B (@pbatters) reported

    @Foxtel why do i pay for subscription TV services when you run as many ads per ad break as FTA. I expect better from a service that i pay for. No ads!

  • DaMasterTech Aaron Fleming (@DaMasterTech) reported

    @msTaco78 @Foxtel Kayo having the same issue.... seems ok now

  • LuiFromTheRadio Lui Zacher! (@LuiFromTheRadio) reported

    @RyanEckford @Foxtel @FOXSportsAUS Pretty disappointing for a service we pay for.

  • imeloise_ elle (@imeloise_) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hey Foxtel I have lost my CC and sent you an email informing you that I’m awaiting a replacement CC but you have deactivated my account anyway surely No way to treat long time customer

  • notdrewmoore 🎩 Drew Moore 💕 (@notdrewmoore) reported

    @Foxtel Your show looks ****, give up

    How can you cancel prodical son #foxtel

  • reasonabledisco Reasonable Discourse (@reasonabledisco) reported

    @foxtel Nothing like hearing the commentators describe what you're currently seeing on the 4k channel. When you cut over from the pre-practice/pre-qualy/pre-race feed, the audio advances around 1-2sec. Thankfully in-car audio is fine, otherwise I'd lose my ****.

  • janette77161612 THE TIME LORD aka DOCTOR Q.🐀🐀🌈🌈 (@janette77161612) reported

    cancel your foxtel.

  • DeanRosario Dean Rosario (@DeanRosario) reported

    @kingzac Never suggested it wasn't PayTV. I was just quoting the piece from the article that said Foxtel is transitioning to having its broadcast only via internet streaming.

  • FyfesHair Fyfe’s Hair© (@FyfesHair) reported

    @TheRealDoc4 Maybe it’s On one of those button thingy’s. I Could never justify the cost of Foxtel

  • Slugasi Honorable Odin 👁T.Gamble (@Slugasi) reported

    @Foxtel It’s ****, d

  • reasonabledisco Reasonable Discourse (@reasonabledisco) reported

    @foxtel seriously needs to fix their #F1 feed. International data transmission is cheaper than ever... so get a backup feed. Don't get me started on the ~1sec advanced audio on the 4k channel....

  • AlexMcleod8888 Alex McLeod (@AlexMcleod8888) reported

    @DaveMilbo I saw at a friends there are abut 6 ludicrous American religious channels on Foxtel. Who is dumb enough to spend your money on a subscription to this Murdoch crap?

  • jackhammermatty Big M (@jackhammermatty) reported

    @JoshDeveson @Foxtel Lol, they won’t because it’s “live” and don’t want to pay for a live captioner and can’t be bothered adding it on replay. I’m not deaf but watch late at night with captions to keep the volume down. It’s the same on the sports channels. It’s frankly ridiculous. They’re cheapskates

  • hihoherewego1 Paul Cook (@hihoherewego1) reported

    @Guts1965 Incoming technical difficulties.... Isn't clear if the problem is with Foxtel/Kayo or from Spain/Sky itself

  • MarkPotten Mark Potten 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺 (@MarkPotten) reported

    @foxtel thank you for being more interested in new customers that providing your loyal customers with better service. Increasing my months subscription my $40 per month #CustomerServiceFail

  • BigBomber Brad Price (@BigBomber) reported

    @RalphyHeraldSun @NBN_Australia Throw them in the bin with @Foxtel tech support. Upgrade to IQ4 they said...gotta be kidding.

  • KevinAirs Kevin Airs (@KevinAirs) reported

    @gwynne007 @DeanRosario @SFCU Bullshit. It was about dogma and appeasing Foxtel. (And emasculating Turnbull by putting him in charge of a policy he would never believe in but still have to implement.)

  • paul_ridsdale Paul Ridsdale (@paul_ridsdale) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help us there a problem with F1 broadcast?

  • SteerableWizard SteerableWizard (@SteerableWizard) reported

    @snakejr6 I dont think his show is on Foxtel, weird flex but ok, and you would never cancel it, thats where the ***** Game is played. Also I dont hypocrisy means what you think it means, I dont think you can link any hypocrisy here, but, ok?

  • gwynne007 Adam Gwynne (@gwynne007) reported

    @KevinAirs @DeanRosario Or maybe the analysis of government is just slightly wrong? Foxtel has been headed down this track for years. The NBN was always destined to be a **** up. Either too expensive if built too fast or too rubbish if built slower.
