  Foxtel asking me if I’m sure I want to delete the two recordings of the game.. never been surer of anything. Would’ve deleted it even if we managed to scrape the win in at the end. #AFLTigersEagles

  @brentread_7 Shut up you *** clown. You and Crawley never have anything positive to say in the media. It is a criminal act that Foxtel and kayo make people pay money to see shows with you 2 idiots on there

  @FOXTEL_Help so apparently your live chat only works up to the point of saying “it’s still not working” and then they drop the chat.

  @RBJRON @strangerous10 I’m with you. Haven’t bought a Murdoch rag since 1997. Never subscribed to Foxtel and, for my own sanity, never tuned into Sky. Don’t walk into a Harvey Norman shop and avoid anyone else who advertises with the Murdochracy

  @Kate3015 Just like Foxtel, AGL, & others do, the broken English is so difficult to deal with most times

  @banditkayfabe WWF RAW was on Fox Sports 1 on Foxtel at 8.30pm on a Tuesday night for us. Always a few hours late but I was glued every week for about 5-6 years solid without fail.

  @MikeCarlton01 I watched a few episodes of "The Mansion" (an ABYSMAL sketch comedy show he co-hosted on Foxtel) & as such have always been "triggered" by him. I thought it was me, but nah he sucks. Grace Tame is a deadset legend.

  @GrumpyPigeon @7plus Glad I recorded on Foxtel to watch properly. I thought it was a Copyright issue with the Doctor Who stuff. It actually has both audio/video messed up. Hopefully is fixed soon to watch properly.

  @GregDavis006 Imagine the poor ***** who don't have Foxtel and have to watch channel 9 for all their footie all year! I'd just stop.

  @hook_gc @FOXNRL It's Fox, try and cancel foxtel for an elderly relative. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

  @Foxtel @binge Obviously they could prove me wrong, but shows like Housewives don't work with a cast full of polished, self-aware types. This is basically why S5 was a let down. The newbies were way too conscious of how they would be portrayed.

  @OMGTheMess Coalition also handed out $40m to Foxtel. Complete and utter scam. Cash for comment each and every night. There was no tender, no conditions and no reporting. All to a subscription service that cheerleads them every night. But the Right don’t dare bring that up.

  **** 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.

  ClayChucky (@claychuckyclay) reported 46 minutes ago

  Given how much we pay for @Foxtel it would nice to see more flexibility like the US version. Why dont we have incar camera choice, maps, timing screens? Why do we get the bog standard international feed with crap biased Sky commentary? Upgrade please or give us @Apple @F1

  @centralNRL Holy ****, we are finally close to being rid of Matt Thompson. Go on Foxtel

  @7AFL Do yourselves a favour …. Watch an episode of “On the couch” on Monday at 7:30am @Foxtel @kayosports AND then watch this 💩 Result = You will never watch Agenda Setters again

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

  @LisaB_29 $350 is not bad compared to foxtel & Kayo.

  Tom Garner (@tom_garner) reported 55 minutes ago

  “There might be a change in broadcasters” Reading in far too much: - “might” - All on Sky on table? - No BBC? Bad IMO - huge reach. Unless ITV want it to add to rugby pfolio - On Pay TV. DAZN? Owns Foxtel so aligned with NRL, but £26 pm. TNT? Not the same production quality

  @mcdonellaussie @DisneyPlus I get ESPN through Foxtel. Would never think to use Disney

  @thebigjohnnyd @MercJestr I had recorded something on my Foxtel box, came back to watch it and it wouldn't play it because they no longer had the rights to it. FFS not asking you to keep streaming it, but let me watch what's recorded. This never happened back in the olden days when I recorded to a VCR

  @c0op111 I just don’t want channels though I am using Kayo a streaming service. If I wanted Foxtel Now I would’ve gotten that. I just don’t understand because all they have to do is flick a switch. Doesn’t cost them anything
