  @Hugh_96 @balumbah I agree, as there's no accountability in RA. You can fail and fail again, and no transparency. My view is that 3 years after the RWC, when the money runs out, Foxtel will buy rugby for peanuts. Only then will it get fixed.

  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.

  Just went to Foxtel to watch Collingwood game and they’re playing some team with an Aboriginal name. AFL is so woke. I’ll never watch another game again. I’m ******* sick of the pandering. #aflnorthsuns

  @footyindustryAU Foxtel price is at its absolute limit - can’t be jacked. If they didn’t get NRL it was an insta cancel. Now they have so few of the sports it’s no longer a one stop shop it’s a different equation.

  @KobieThatcher I'm still unsure how they measure how many people watch it as I've never seen a survey for it. Free to Air over Antenna is receive only as is Foxtel over satellite. I don't know many that watch FTA via the app.

  @RWBFooty Yes Channel 7 is ****, not everyone can afford Foxtel. 🤬

  Kayo is such a rubbish streaming service, all thanks to those retards at Foxtel for giving them exclusive broadcasting rights. When the Footy is over I'm gonna buy another region's F1TV and watch there. This is garbage.

  @Tksed_1 @FinancialReview Stan is struggling with B grade sports content Rugby EPL etc & thats the groups biggest income source.. They made a bold , HUGE play for the biggest sport in the land the NRL & that would have seriously harmed DAZN/foxtels viability so DAZN/foxtel said **** you !!

  @Foxtel I am trying to login to the app, it buffers, then does nothing and I have opened and closed it many times!

  @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

• 
  Jason robert (@JasonR69737) reported 20 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?

  @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.

  I haven’t been able to record for a month, now i’ve lost all the recordings I had. Did they help? No, of course not why would they it’s not like it’s their job. **** you #Foxtel How about giving some help and care to one of your few remaining customers, or am I asking too much?

  @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

  @MichaelPascoe01 NRL before the kids. It’s directly related to Foxtel and Nine's broadcast rights with the NRL. Non gambling Advertising revenue is down so the only income these mobs will get for the footy is from Gambling. If labor bans Gambling ads the NRL won’t get same the money for the deal

  @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.

  **** 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.

  @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

  @bimmyjartel @FOXTEL_Help That’s it, isn’t it? They have no competition so they don’t care how they treat people. Like Australia Post. They don’t have competition, so they don’t care.

  @AmeliaBee7 @xskinn It used to fill me with anxiety and annoyance when I had the displeasure of having sky free on Foxtel. And seeing this idiot sitting there like a pompous buffoon. Thank Christ they removed free Sky News.

  Realistically 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.

  @pantherman45 Kayo is all ready $46 a month for a flawed service. How much does it go to if Foxtel has to pay more for the NRL?

  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

  @FOXNRL I signed up for Foxtel in 1992 primarily for the rugby league coverage….i hope like hell they lose the broadcast rights ! Ennis, Voss, Duke, Alexander are ****** terrible commentators

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