  • MrTVAus Mr TV Australia (@MrTVAus) reported

    North Melbourne in trouble? 😕🏉 Outrated by GWS vs Gold Coast on Foxtel yesterday 👀, even outrated by AFLW 👀 (Singled out North, as Lions was also on FTA in Qld, doing further 75k there, good for a one sided contest in that market and won its slot!) @kanecornes @FootyonNine

  • PohlmanJohn John Pohlman (@PohlmanJohn) reported

    @Foxtel my package discount was due to expire on 03/04 rang on 01/04 to discuss. Told no offers were available. Asked what is my next bill. $104. Are you sure? Yes you can check your My Account. Did that and it was $104.got screenshot. Today billed $119. Go figure. Time to cancel

  • JordanRenouf J//R (@JordanRenouf) reported

    @AndyLevees Just do a bein 2 week trial and then cancel it after the game haha. Probably a lot of people through Foxtel though as well

  • testok51981 tariq (@testok51981) reported

    @MrTVAus @storm And the Quality before there was a hd gem option was so bad. That l got foxtel only for that reason. if you are in nsw or qld. Try watching the rugby on ch91 in SD. I do perfer the ch9 commentry team. So when gem went hd recently l got rid of foxtel and switched back to gem

  • cqfood cqfood (@cqfood) reported

    @Telstra STILL NOT CONNECTED. I WANTED TO CANCEL @Foxtel BUT EVERYTHING GOT DISCONNECTED.

  • Andrew34081423 Andrew (@Andrew34081423) reported

    @MarkHoward03 How cringeworthy watching that intro too that garbage dished up best on ground ,where are all the decent footy shows anymore apparently you and that token dame longhand are experts on both cricket and football ,embarrassing foxtel is ,2 zgraders 1 minute I lasted pure garbage

  • BennyJames83 Razor the Ball (@BennyJames83) reported

    @Andrewmacca27 Victoria doesn’t care about NRL. Never have. Never will. Majority of Storm fans are from out of state (QLD mostly) and you basically can’t watch without Foxtel or going to one of their home games which are cheap as chips.

  • peterjchalmers Peter Chalmers (@peterjchalmers) reported

    Hey @FOXTEL_Help for some reason our Foxtel Go app (on Android TV & iPhone) is showing the TV Guide as an hour out. Still on DS Time. How do we fix it?

  • mjc2000au Michael Coles (@mjc2000au) reported

    @michaelbodey Wasn't Foxtel's cable mainly been in metro areas? Foxtel and Austar merged about 10 years ago. Foxtel was cable and satellite. Austar was Satellite only. Foxtel a few years ago wasn't connecting anyone to the cable network and mainly been satellite installations.

  • siggsau Richard Siggs 💉💉💉 (@siggsau) reported

    I love that Foxtel is trying hard to get us off their cable network. They’re going to have to pay us to disconnect. Just a free cutover for us on a dedicated physical cable network isn’t good enough. Keep trying.

  • CammoCox Cammo (@CammoCox) reported

    Since when have @AFL Games ONLY been on Kayo…. Went to flick over to #AFLLionsRoos and not on @FOXFOOTY I’m a paying Foxtel customer.

  • bvd764 Beev (@bvd764) reported

    @StanSportRugby any chance you guys can get the rights to the sevens? @Foxtel have them but never show any of it. Aussie teams obviously pretty decent!

  • fukemweball7 shari (@fukemweball7) reported

    @nsmallwood35 @BVF_999 @Daniel33119354 Well it’s not on foxtel damn

  • KDawson27341870 K. Dawson (@KDawson27341870) reported

    @AusWomenCricket Is this tweet a support for women cricketers or a Foxtel ad?

  • michaelbodey Michael Bodey (@michaelbodey) reported

    interesting how Foxtel appears to be wanting to close down its cable network in the dead of night as it goes pure streaming. Going to severely piss off so many rusted on subscribers, particularly in regions

  • nicolec5972 💧NMX (@nicolec5972) reported

    @7AFL Would love to be watching this, mobile Foxtel not allowing it though. Crap!

  • NijinskyCB Graham Jones 🐝🇬🇧 Born Ancoats, Proud BLUE, 🇺🇦 (@NijinskyCB) reported

    @ParamountPlusAU I've said it before and I repeat, you are a two bob organisation who couldn't run a chook raffle. Just get out of football and leave it to experts FFS. Only have to put up with beffering with Optus and FOXTEL was a dream compared to your service @simonhill1894

  • sav_mvc Sav (@sav_mvc) reported

    @AndyLevees Sorry should clarify, bein the channel my bad, still got a foxtel box lying around *for now* haha

  • Ozzytourer 💧Lucky Country with A Labor Govt!! (@Ozzytourer) reported

    @AaronDodd @Telstra Foxtel is just as bad.....

  • nicolec5972 💧NMX (@nicolec5972) reported

    @Foxtel WTF?! Just spent twenty minutes trying to work out how to sign in my phone to watch the @CrowsAFLW game. Started, then get a message to go to 550 to continue - there is no 550 available on my phone??!! What the?!

  • angrynationalis Angry Nationalist 🔹 (@angrynationalis) reported

    @PlayStationAU latest system update for my PS4 PRO installed a garbage NBA app and moved my Foxtel Now app to my 'recently used' apps. How Can I delete this NBA stupid app & put my Foxtel Now app back instead ?

  • DeanRosario Dean Rosario (@DeanRosario) reported

    So, some AUS sokkah community think simultaneous kick-offs are scheduled to help the broadcaster sell more subscriptions? Previous 16 yrs we were told Foxtel won't allow simultaneous kick-offs bc it adversely impacts revenue. Both hypotheses defy logic.

    Foxtel relaunches premium paid service

  • Nibzeee Bruce Nibbs (@Nibzeee) reported

    Ahh the joys of trying to get customer support from @Foxtel through @FOXTEL_Help When the problem doesn't fit in their troubleshooting matrix, they stop providing any "assistance" Bet that would change if I blocked the credit card paying for their product.

  • Haich44 Hassa (@Haich44) reported

    @nak_98 @brisbanelions @CharlesRanger23 Foxtel not even giving pre game for lions. This is crap. Going to cancel Foxtel not worth it at all. Will just use cheaper Kayo.

  • mtewhatu Matthew Tewhatu (@mtewhatu) reported

    The Australian women are going to win the World Cup Final at a canter but only a fraction will see it as it's not being broadcast on free to air TV in Australia. Talk about one step forward, two steps back. A terrible decision by @Foxtel @FOXSportsAUS @kayosports #CWC22

  • paullyfromaus Paully from Newc 💉💉💉 (@paullyfromaus) reported

    @pwafork How about more coverage of expenditure by the current government that either has added to debt, or will mean higher taxes? Say, $5.5 billion on submarines that will never exist? Or the $13 billion pocketed by companies whose profits increased? Millions paid to Foxtel, even?

  • Erinkyan Erin Kyan (@Erinkyan) reported

    even if it's good I still want to be on record that binge ******* sucks as a service. **** captions, no picture in picture on mobile. **** foxtel.

  • xeriphism Xeriphism (@xeriphism) reported

    @investguy44 @joncoopertweets @POTUS Well in Australia the reason our internet is mostly awful was because murdoch feared Netflix would make Foxtel extinct But allllll the ********* in the land voted tony spineless abbott in. These people need to fear their populace might bring back the guillotine for them.

  • CShelston Chris Shelston (@CShelston) reported

    @kayosports @Foxtel fix your App please, one minute it’s live then it goes back 5 minutes and says it’s live. Unacceptable in this day and age, if your providing streaming services needs to be live and not delaying consistently
