FOXTEL Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Alice Stewart 🦂 (@Theretributor) reported@Ryandally08 Tony Abbott was made leader by his old mate Rupert Murdoch in order to put a very slow third rate internet system into Australia so it would not render his Foxtel by satellite service as being useless. Rupert has since sold Foxtel.
-
Richard (@RichardBlackgum) reported@hook_gc @FOXNRL It's Fox, try and cancel foxtel for an elderly relative. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.
-
Rock Sniffer (@SniffRocks) reported@Raiders_24Sep89 We need Foxtel not to own it kayo is garbage & will cost $500 a year soon for a tax payer subsidised sport. Channel 7 & 9 split coverage, ad free games on stan or similar
-
Tim Smith (@tim_smith1981) reportedWorst on ground today goes to @FOXFOOTY. Very piss poor effort especially given the recent price increase by @Foxtel #afldonspies
-
Judy Bourke (@judithbourke) reported@benonwine I agree it’s bloody awful got Foxtel and your paying for repeats Sports channel maybe different
-
Rhino79 (@Reggiejets) reported@SteveMolk @WSWanderingEels Take the lot Stan/Ch9. Lifelong Foxtel subscriber, I’ll cancel subscription for Stan sports Rugby League & EPL
-
lady galadriels 🏏 @ mtcg - ishkh khakfe andu null (@miss_reys_mind) reportedWhy the bloody hell has foxtel still got the stupid seinfeld channel ? Why not a friends channel ? Or a married with children channel ? A frasier/cheers channel ? So many better options than that absolutely stupid show having its own channel
-
Ben (@bennyshelts) reported@andrew_whelan The problem is, it still just uses the same linear channel feeds from Foxtel.
-
AKoz9 (@Koz9A) reported@RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.
-
NMM (@NeilMur73809257) reported@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.
-
Michael (@Migel7911) reported@Tuxy81 Cheaper to buy Foxtel go between 2 people and share the login. It is still a rubbish app but can save you a few $$
-
Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@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.
-
Dustin Spriggs (@DustinSpriggs4) reported@puntingbattler @WSWanderingEels It’s near useless data imo. It doesn’t include Foxtel. It may be the same for Ch9 and the NRL but the Ch7 AFL commentary is garbage. No one that has the choice would be choosing that and the ads after goals
-
Sia (@sianasios) reported@Foxtel I am trying to login to the app, it buffers, then does nothing and I have opened and closed it many times!
-
Anna (@spannaforce) reportedIs there a problem with @FOXTEL_Help ? I keep getting playback error message
-
Aron Roach (@AronRoach7) reported@taximalsVT Foxtel was ****, and when Telstra first Introduced the High speed net, It really was Super fast high speed net for the first few months.. We got heaps. But they realised this, and all ISP's have been throttling the **** out of it every since.
-
wolvesjr34 (@wolvesjr34) reportedI legit think anyone who pays for Kayo is not very smart. Pay a little more and get access to so much more with Foxtel. Kayo is unreliable, and a rip off... legit the only streaming service I ever tried for one month and was like, nope, never again.
-
Ric S. AU (@RicS37759479) reported@Pivotonian1838 @SkyNewsAust @Foxtel ADS...bad ads for retards,ultratards who might want to light up the ole fishn hole.
-
nat ★ (@catwsfiIm) reported@gimmieghostie foxtel not letting me down for once
-
Dale in Perth 🔴⚪⚫ (@DaleTho45919445) reported@kayosports / @Foxtel why can’t we hear the crowd with your commentary? It sounds like you’re not even there!! Absolutely terrible!! It’s ANZAC Day and we’re stuck with inferior products
-
kristen (@_kjerkovich) reported@Foxtel can you please fix your Kayo Minis and full replay for the Freo v Hawks game last night?? Having only the 2min Sportsbet Preview available to stream is poor form 20+ hrs later!!!
-
JAMpresident (@JAMpresident) reported@HostShinyoku @LesniakAndrew42 @kazakura_22 Game of Thrones is a great example. When it was on air, Australia was a massive pirate of the show. People were downloading torrents. Why? Because the only way to watch was with a ******* Foxtel subscription (cable TV contract). Everyone said **** that.
-
Mustard (@Curiosooo123) reported@cmkusher @NRL @kayosports Foxtel has some good deals now, I am going to flick it and go with them, the recent updated app brought in a whole new realm of issues for me. Enough is enough.
-
Mr Clown (@clownfeatures69) reported@Foxtel day off 3 games of NBA and you pick the worst game to show.
-
lady galadriels 🏏 @ mtcg - ishkh khakfe andu null (@miss_reys_mind) reportedone of the main reasons i persist with foxtel is to watch #redv games. saints are really tempting me in to giving it up. if it wasnt for cricket and a few shows i really like it would be gone cmon, @NRL_Dragons , get your **** together
-
Dan (@Dan90091917) reported@Frumpy45 @SC___Scout Kayo doesn’t have channel numbers like Foxtel does retard
-
George Munro (@ornums53) reported@1116sen Because Ch7 "Allegedly" have the footy rights but have 4 less games than Foxtel. No footy on Sat's poor elderly that AFL don't get any Sat footy anymore G but what would you blokes care. Broadcaters fault. And camera work is pathetic. Game is in chaos. Poor Laura took the hit.
-
odd ✮⋆˙。・゜・ (@pusherll) reportedalso this was produced by the biggest australian television network yet it was no where to be found on streaming?? how does that work foxtel 🤨
-
Voicey (@Dubhgall90) reported@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?
-
tsell (@TsellSellersfam) reported@BillWiIdin I was on the phone to a foxtel employee who put me on hold 3 times to go and check her son who had broken her leg. At least she was honest about it but yeah a 15min phone call ended up taking 45mins. Not productive at all.
