    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

    @ColettaFrank @Gatty54 Foxtel are flooding their ‘crap’ programs with the cringeworthy ads for the circus at the White House, calling it the greatest sports event in history.

    @GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic QED. This ALP fool doesn’t know Foxtel rolled out and paid for a cable network for far less $/ customer than the NBN. Foxtel: ~$800–$1,100 per premise. NBN: $2,000–$2,750+ per premise.

    @ruicharadrius Wifi here is like wifi anywhere, afaik. Perhaps you mean bandwidth. For that problem blame the government that thought fibre to premises was overkill. Turnbull, under the thumb of Murdoch who was protecting Foxtel. We don’t hate Murdoch enough.

    @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help How are we meant to watch anything when we keep getting playback errors popping up the last 2 days? Surely you come up with a resolution

    @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

    Frank (@FrankieJBroph) reported

    @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!

  • Brython14

    Hey @Foxtel the next time I hear your AFL football commentators describe something as "elite", I will 1) Vomit and 2) Cancel my subscription. Enough of this repetitive garbage, I beg you. @AFL

    @tayser82 I believe Foxtel used as much power as a town the size of Lithgow when it first setup in Macquarie Park but, no, that wasn’t a problem

    @PieNorthern @Foxtel The netball was on earlier… it was agonising watching it stop starting all game. I can’t even get social media on my phone because of the Wifi signal, it’s been getting worse every day at my house.

    Also btw wtf was the ticking sound @Foxtel in the first 18 mins of the Panthers v Tigers coverage?

    @PollyPorridge My town didn’t have channel ten until I was like 12? Or maybe later so if you didn’t have Foxtel you never saw it, and when I visited my aunty in Adelaide it was banned so it was a double whammy

  • Aquae_Sq

    @robb_j_m Making it useless and bad was the primary purpose of the 2013 Abbott government. Almost certainly at the behest of Murdoch, as it would hurt his Foxtel business.

  • Manbearpigzebra
    Mike Oxbig (@Manbearpigzebra) reported

    Never thought i’d have a phone call with anyone as absolutely useless as @Foxtel All I wanted was a replacement box, it took 1 hour to reach that conclusion. They were supposed to call me back 3 days ago and never did, this was me calling them a second time. 1/2

    @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.

    **** 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.

    @timellisau @Jousting_Sticks Never used Foxtel but I always assumed they deliberately made Kayo so ****** you had to pay the extra $$$ to use Foxtel and get extra features like 4k.

  • mr_chitafa

    @Jousting_Sticks This isn’t a kayo problem. This is a Foxtel problem. If you hate the Kayo app so much. It Foxtel instead.

  • wolvesjr34
    wolvesjr34 (@wolvesjr34) reported

    I 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.

  • Mehyouthink
    Scott Patten (@Mehyouthink) reported

    @footyindustryAU I reckon stays at kayo/foxtel. Look what happened to A-League and Rugby when they left. You never see them on pub tvs anymore. I mean the deal for that might not be worth it but for eyes on product?

    @Theblackfemini3 I’m with you I have every bloody streaming service but there just all repeats from the old Foxtel and the new crap only a gem here and there but for 3 months now **** all to watch on any of them
