  • suchshea Not Shea (@suchshea) reported

    @Returnpuff Same reason Foxtel is spamming me. Sure if I can claim foxtel on tax I’ll sign up. Until then **** off.

  • rajetic Greg / Kojack (@rajetic) reported

    My housemate just went through the "fun" of trying to cancel a Foxtel account. She had to work her way through two staff begging her to take a deal, even needing me to join at one point to say "we don't want deals, we just want to cancel! We're already with another service"

  • Cmufollowing smiley Burke (@Cmufollowing) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports They talk about this issue every week with everyone that comes on the show they have no idea what's going on in how about talking about the the games they bloody gossip journalists at best

  • rjhm40 Robert Mill (@rjhm40) reported

    @Sophie_Dayman Maybe a move to channel 9 would pay off. 7 must be broke if they can't find technology that works. Foxtel you can throw in there as well. Got rid of that with all the bias and terrible show targeting Victorian viewers.

  • jussiejussie 𝕵𝖚𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖊 (@jussiejussie) reported

    Ahahaha I’m cancelling my WWE network because WWE showing MITB and Summerslam for free on Foxtel in Australia

  • Steepstyle Denise Edith (@Steepstyle) reported

    Thoughts please people. Close family member from central QLD tells me she has signed up for Foxtel as free to air tv reception there has become so bad it is unwatchable. Has there been active defunding of transmitters, forcing regional viewers to paid entertainment and um ‘news’?

  • itsarcs1 itsarcs (@itsarcs1) reported

    @ayden_5_ The question is how did it get down there again. I never expect to commentator to say in unison the umpire have influenced the game but the Foxtel crew, a lions legend Leigh Matthew’s have all said the same thing. Did you hear Leigh?

  • LairdMcBain Laird McBain 💎 (@LairdMcBain) reported

    @thecattery @TwitterBlue I did it as a trial to see what it was like, I like some of it including the edit so kept it but now with these in threads ads appearing I have to question why I pay.. it is like when foxtel went to ads for a subscription service.

  • ToneSinnzz Tone Egan (@ToneSinnzz) reported

    @kilegi1991 @tamalogic It's the Anime streaming service so can watch Naruto, Dragonball Z etc on there haha it's for my son lol and I already have Kayo as well for League, NBA, NFL... At this rate its cheaper to have foxtel kefs lmao

  • calebsfavourite Calebsfavourite 🐁🐀🐁 (@calebsfavourite) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is terrible value for money. Where you have good internet, don’t even bother

  • realhotgirrl certified lover barbie ❤️‍🔥🥀 (@realhotgirrl) reported

    @thebratzangel omg that’s awful 🥹💔 I loved them together. I better check I’m up to date on MDL I haven’t seen either of the series advertised in a while on foxtel! ugh frederick was just there because he was the loudest 🙄

  • mrstaz2 JenniF (@mrstaz2) reported

    @Telstra Not yet but happy to - what is best way to contact them? The only advice we have had is from Foxtel who advised of an unplanned outage but said it may not be resolved for 24 hours - that doesn’t work for me if I can’t work effectively and efficiently in the meantime

  • DamienEvans7 Damien Evans (@DamienEvans7) reported

    @YaThinkN And partly because of being on Foxtel for the next 15 years or so the games support has collapsed and it's now clearly the smallest football code in the country when it had a big opportunity after those events to really push to be the clear second code in the big three states

  • bronxnationbob Bobby (@bronxnationbob) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Capewell is too slow for centre. No need for changes

  • kevinperry Kevin Perry (@kevinperry) reported

    @Colvick @AAA_Squibby @rob_mcknight BBL is still watched by a strong audience. The problem is the vkewership is split between 3 broadcasters Seven, Foxtel and Kayo. That makes it impossible for any of them to capitalise on it. If someone got exclusive rights for reasonable price. They would do well.

  • G66649786 G (@G66649786) reported

    @napost13 @SkyNewsAust Not sure it’d help. Foxtel is a subscription service and the govt still gives them money.

  • Acerebel Nicola Stratford (@Acerebel) reported

    @monaeltahawy I kept a recording of this wonderful episode on my (sorry!) Foxtel box. When I went to replay it for someone, it was gone. Someone reached down the wires and wiped it, when they also wiped it from the ABC iView (watch later) service. Bastards!

  • MattHuismanNZ Matt Huisman (@MattHuismanNZ) reported

    @JockeyPong Foxtel is behind paywall. If you cant link to a free stream online for what you want, I can't help sorry. I am already using the sky racing streams

  • meowbrodieCRPS brodie🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ (@meowbrodieCRPS) reported

    @VeronicaPrice3 @YouTube Yeah, a few eh ones. But not bad. The ads are insane. There seems to be twice as many as there use to be. As bad as foxtel. Lol

  • ShriekingVi 🐀Proud Lefty Sewer Rat🐀 (@ShriekingVi) reported

    @thespecialbka Huge swathes of Adelaide suburbs can only get internet via the Foxtel cable network. That, & every shopping centre, doctors & dentist's surgery, library, & public space streaming it creates a captive audience. It was the worst thing about living in SA.

  • deepCracinmulet Dan (@deepCracinmulet) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Gagai has never let Queensland down. He will be there. Same side unless there is injuries

  • BigVapingNunga Jude (Sewer Rat) Nunga (@BigVapingNunga) reported

    @Trixie_Boo Foxtel? No thanks I won't pay for Murdoch ****.

  • mudhu08 mudhu08 (@mudhu08) reported

    @Shankly52897941 I honestly would have cancelled such a long time ago, the interface and errors are so difficult to deal with. I only keep my sub to watch the Peacock shows that aren't aired on Foxtel/Binge!

  • gemsydney1 Dreambig (@gemsydney1) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Kent $500k , Riccio $200-300k crawley may be 300K plus and braith may be more. Wasting people time with help of running this garbage channel. Flanno has been hired by murdoch group to get a gig haha.

  • chiswick_girl Kath Corbett (@chiswick_girl) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help @Foxtel Trying to activate an IQ5 box. Call support line only to be told you have encountered an error and then cut the phone line! Online support useless.

  • SallyLawry 💧Sally Lawry (@SallyLawry) reported

    @Foxtel Never .

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd Do you think Murdoch/News Corp/Foxtel would be interested in Network Ten? Personally, I think they'd be much more interested in Seven - the highest rating (well, 2nd highest rating here in Sydney + one or two other markets) TV network in the country.

  • CraigLeeSmithOZ Craig-Lee Smith (@CraigLeeSmithOZ) reported

    @FlemishDog too bad Larry Sanders and Dream On did not last long in prime time on Ten, they were both pulled after three weeks and later that year Dream On returned to a late Saturday night timeslot. Larry Sanders was flogged off to Foxtel where it got shown from beginning to end.

  • hsvjones1 Chris (@hsvjones1) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Tigers never won a spoon and not on bottom of the ladder and it’s all these guys talk about..Not one word about Titans who are actually on the bottom with a far better roster. Obsessed they are and missing other stories in the game. How about talking about the stupid 6 again rule

  • BMcSport Brett McKay (@BMcSport) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I've been able to save each bill from the PDF links, but it's still something you'll need to fix..
