    @FOXTEL_Help hello there seems to be some issues with the paramount + app when trying to begin an episode of Ghosts (US version) it gets stuck after the preview has finished and as well if you skip the previews, not sure if it occurs with other show or not, please 🙏

    @tresantes Sidenote i think i might be the reason foxtel now makes you sign up for every channel to get the documentary ones at all now, because i was watching that **** for like 10 hours a day for years and only paying $10/mth, it had to have been a loss for them

    @intothecrevasse I never watched it but saw the ads regularly back when I had TheComedyChannel as part of my Foxtel package.

    @FIAWEC @beINSPORTSASIA thatd be right Foxtel ditched its BEIN sports channel partnership a few years back now i gotta shell out for them on top of everything life sucks being a poor schmuck on DSP😕

    @Quartermain10 "Technical difficulties" don't cover the continuous stuff ups where we watching replays instead of live centre bounce contests. Very poor direction from Foxtel, should be 100% better for the subscription cost!

    @mitchellnash92 Will cancel my foxtel subscription because I will have no joy in watching the midweek shows this year.

    @JSchloeman45114 @RightPulseNewss Yes that's right! It's the same where I am, people who don't have Foxtel only get to see Local news & the ABC news which is very Biased to the Labor Government we have. Albanese puts Australia LAST and we're heading down the same path as the UK fast!

    @MikeCarlton01 Well the Israelis having a problem Bibi promised Don he gets Gaza they get the West Bank But they need the USA to take the hard hits for them. So now it storming the beaches as a ex foxtel sports commentator decided to throw the Geneva Convention in the bin as to restrictive.

    @matt__nicholls Yeah sucks. Think foxtel/kayo should focus on getting more sport leave the movies/tv to the streaming sites. Cos fta cant to do sports well. And having sport split over multiple site sucks. Would be so bad if all tennis was on one all motorsport on another but when sports are over 2 or 3 it sucks.

    @tresantes I had Foxtel growing up (it was pretty crap ngl), and even we didn’t get it because the channel package with HBO was insanely expensive

    thank goodness for @Foxtel and online services, because watching a local commercial TV “news” service (@9NewsAdel) that carries a football story as lead in the middle of a fuel crisis, is just not an option any more

    Truly terrible coverage with sound dropouts at the most important moments tonight Foxtel. Not worth the $113/month we pay to simply watch the game. #AFLDonsPies

    Confident prediction The price of Foxtel and Kayo will spike considerably, and it will be justified based on the government gambling ads crackdown Quinella: Never waste a crisis into law of unintended consequences GR 👍

    @tresantes omg this reminds me of how for like 2 years my dad would pay for foxtel specifically when game of thrones was airing and then cancel it until eventually he gave up and started pirating it 😭

    @ranmasaotome96 Game of Thrones being locked down by Foxtel forced it. I would have bought day-of released episodes via iTunes or Xbox Video if given the option. But nooooo- had to go sign an exclusivity deal with Foxtel.

    @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.

    @BingIsBackBaby @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help I’ll try that. It’s hard because the product website says one thing and their staff say another. But yes I’ll call next week and eventually I’ll get it sorted. But yeah, horrible experience every time I have to adjust anything. Terrible call center except for the Australian one.
