    I know why sports matches always cut out on recording over Foxtel as they seem to start the recording before the actual match begins not just a minute or two before it starts and it chews up the end of the recording as it cuts outs because of the recording times.

  • MrSrHoges MrSisterHoges 💉🐀 primum non nocere (@MrSrHoges) reported

    @jean15849180 More like sisyphus. Pushing poo uphill with a toothpick & expecting foxtel to help. If we believed their christianity we would not be skeptical, however, we have seen their unchristian ******* actions and we are all doubting thomases now and will believe it when we feel the wound

  • Nashy8T6 Daniel Nash (@Nashy8T6) reported

    @PDoodlies You’re clearly not very bright are ya? I have said on 2 occasions now that I don’t support the $40m given to Foxtel to broadcast ****** women’s sport that doesn’t have an audience. So, No, I don’t support taxpayer $ being given to Foxtel. Do you need an illustration, moron?

  • PipCoomes Pip Coomes (@PipCoomes) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help how do I get my app on phone to allow me to stream to a second TV in house. Can see main TV as an option but Foxtel vvvv disturbed there maybe too far from modem even though fine on a laptop. Other apps auto show this tv as stream option no issue

  • GeordieCowan Geordie Cowan (@GeordieCowan) reported

    @michaelbodey @Foxtel @beINSPORTS_EN Their sport content is almost literally down to AFL and NRL. Despite having a ‘cricket’ channel, which doesn’t have much cricket.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I have noticed over on Foxtel years ago they had Winner and Losers show and they never showed the final season as I watched it all through Foxtel and am still waiting for the final season to air on Foxtel but I ended up buying the whole seasons on DVD.

  • messy_tony Tony Messenger (@messy_tony) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help can I get somebody (not a bot) to help me with a basic problem? When attempting to “register” it says I don’t exist

  • BrownSquirrel BrownSquirrel (@BrownSquirrel) reported

    Bloody @foxtel - theyve taken channels off us that we used to get and some of the newones we're supposed to get arent available. Yet we pay to have everything... Hubby on the phone as I type - again!! They dont even tell you theyre cutting your service

  • Darren84801495 Darren (@Darren84801495) reported

    @67_MickO @michaelobrienmp Have u watched it recently? I can't believe the crap these people are paid to say. And people pay foxtel for this rubbish 😱😱

  • Spi_AU Spi! 👾🦈 (💉x1) (@Spi_AU) reported

    Now all I need is the horrible choice of TV at 5 in the morning - regional television operators desperate for income with home shopping and religious shows on a Sunday, and flaky retransmission of Foxtel channels. Streaming exists in 2021, thank goodness. x3

  • NnugYllas Me (@NnugYllas) reported

    @MagazineAmplify Ooh, which streamng service is it on please? (or is it foxtel only).

  • michelemarbelle Michele (@michelemarbelle) reported

    @Foxtel just rang me (cancelled in Feb) to tell me I owe them hundreds of $. The hardly inaudible operator stated I need to cancel etc etc. I said ‘fix it’! I’m not spending another hour on the phone. Pathetic

  • giveoutmore Bluebird 💚💛 (@giveoutmore) reported

    @Foxtel I want to cancel Sports. Can u help please?

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I have been a long time customer for Foxtel since 1999 and when I first got Foxtel they had no adds and over time adds are plentiful and I notice they even advertise free to air channels over Foxtel too when you watch an NBA game they show so many adds in every game.

  • ACMilanSydney The AC Milan-Godfather (@ACMilanSydney) reported

    @MyMortalMusings @Foxtel Thanks, it seems to be the same issues in Canada, according to a follower. The biggest problem is Lega Calcio waiting to the last minute to finalise the tendering process. You only have to look at the Serie A draw, done always at the last minute.

  • ACMilanSydney The AC Milan-Godfather (@ACMilanSydney) reported

    @MyMortalMusings @Foxtel That was the issue last year, I guess now they have to buy from @DAZN. Just had a look about tv rights on Wiki, most countries around Europe show the name of a provider for Serie A, for all other countries listed as TBC.

  • Howsito Adam Howes (@Howsito) reported

    @talkinsmack23 @MagicJohnson Oh no ****. I reckon I might have caught one episode on Foxtel.

  • MorrisonTwat Munterson Inc. (@MorrisonTwat) reported

    @tchbastard Murdoch had the LNP hold us back to slow the uptake of streaming services, making more people use Foxtel

  • RodFuller19 Rod Fuller (@RodFuller19) reported

    @Craillsy Smart! I didn’t but thankfully Foxtel GO has a replay. What a race! My man ***** P needs to get his **** together though. 2021 an absolute stinker.

  • blahblahellis Scott Ellis™️ (@blahblahellis) reported

    @MediaweekAUS I rang Foxtel recently to say I was concerned over my spend and looking for options, the “helpline” basically agreed I should probably cancel. But did I need broadband?

  • ACMilanSydney The AC Milan-Godfather (@ACMilanSydney) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hey Mac, you don’t think whoever is in charge @beINSPORTS_AUS doesn’t already know if the answer is yes or no? Just delaying the process of us finding a new provider/streaming service. I might go direct to @SerieA, I’m sure they do have an answer. #BroadcastingRightsAustralia

  • foxlow James Falkiner (@foxlow) reported

    I wonder what NewsCorp's Foxtel valuation would be if the loan to own facilities were MTM. The real issue is the poor Foxtel management and culture. Caveat emptor. $NWS

  • MyMortalMusings Anthony Manca (@MyMortalMusings) reported

    @ACMilanSydney @Foxtel You’re probably right. Unless it’s that piracy issue which beIN are still annoyed about. They negotiated a reduction in Serie A’s cost for broadcasting rights last season, they’re probably doing the same.

  • WaybackBot Wayback Bot (@WaybackBot) reported

    Foxtel launches premium paid service

  • JamesCridland James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported

    @TheDanBarrett I'm irritated that Foxtel bought the exclusive rights to CNN, thus taking it off Fetch. I'm also irritated that Foxtel have exclusive rights to Comcast's Sky News UK, thus blocking it on YouTube in this country. I can fix both these things by just watching naughty m3u8s, though.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I noticed on Foxtel they seem to air some shows and they don’t seem to finish every season and show what they can as eventually some shows they lose the rights to have it on their service.

  • kazcity KazCity (@kazcity) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thank Elle .. still no progress I have done all that on outrage page ,, it’s never done thus before . And no reply to my dm

  • tenbobargument Noblesse Oblige (@tenbobargument) reported

    bad enough that @Foxtel lost @Eurosports but they STILL haven't worked out how to set IQ3 to record to end of delayed events (eg Styrian GP when accident prolonged broadcast by more than +30mins). Surely someone must monitor & be capable of overriding clock? @Australian

  • smitty92 Aaron (@smitty92) reported

    Wait... Does Foxtel not have live coverage of Watkins Glen? WTF.

  • ACMilanSydney The AC Milan-Godfather (@ACMilanSydney) reported

    @MyMortalMusings @Foxtel I would prefer to pay for the service and get a steady broadcast. But if no provider, everyone will go back to the old days of illegal streams. I don’t blame the fans, if that’s the only means of watching a game.
