  • Paulz20445090 Paulz (@Paulz20445090) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    Quality service from Foxtel... NOT. On the phone waiting for 2hrs only to be disconnected while finally talking to 'someone' about recording failures. Obviously too difficult. Think I will keep a log here of my ongoing experiences. Stay tuned. #FOXTELfail1

  • GaryMDean EARTH FIRST 🇺🇦 (@GaryMDean) reported

    @joncoopertweets NEVER! Nor have I or would I ever subscribe to Foxtel. I refuse to give Murdoch one of my dollars.

  • DukeandLeon1 Duke and Leon (@DukeandLeon1) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports I’d rather pull my eyes out with a pair of **** covered pliers than watch this moronic **** soaked piss poop

  • northcoasteels Swifts stan Matt (@northcoasteels) reported

    Also what's with @Foxtel blocking screengrabs, stopping us RL numpties can't prove terrible points on twitter using single frames that prove our argument, while ignoring the greater context that refutes it?

  • Mandarine2010 Mandy Mands (@Mandarine2010) reported

    @Foxtel Live chat is what I did last time and was assured I was getting the issue resolved. How do I get someone to actually call me?

  • TopPilotGaming Kieron (@TopPilotGaming) reported

    Netflix saw the dark side first. Now Prime. Hopefully @ParamountPlusAU NEVER EVER signs a deal with Foxtel to go over and join Netflix and Prime Video. Nor @disneyplus

  • mjack7004 MJack (@mjack7004) reported

    @Foxtel @syn3rgi3 Checking Twitter for Foxtel issues (I’m on the Sony smart tv app) and have been getting error PE8000 for hours and here it is - same here - any update Foxtel? Changing channel doesn’t work and Home Screen return doesn’t work. What else you got?

  • jewelsbaby10 Jennifer Gregory (@jewelsbaby10) reported

    @Foxtel Never.

  • AustralianPony Michael Praxton (@AustralianPony) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is dead to me. Why? U can NOT watch free to air channel using the streaming service. U HAVE to watch free to air using your old fashioned poor reception TV antenna. This is the most BACKWARDS step by foxtel and its cause many of us to go watch free to air apps.

  • DeanbAdam Dean (@DeanbAdam) reported

    I'm going out on a limb here, and I think we are watching foxtel which might be the root cause, but are all #Australian TV presenters/speakers all totally awful people who hate everyone or am I watching a very bad slice of Australian TV?

  • AustralianPony Michael Praxton (@AustralianPony) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is dead. Why? On iq4 and iq5. U can NOT watch free to air channel using the iq box streaming . U HAVE to watch free channels using your old fashioned poor reception TV antenna. This is the most BACKWARDS step by foxtel and its cause many of us to go watch free to air apps

    @FOXTEL_Help I recorded all of outlander so I could watch it on my day off I went to watch it today to find s6 e5 and e6 due to an error call f26 and shows a pad lock even though all the others recorded and they aren’t available streaming HELP

  • INEEDSOMEONE17 Dudebloke (@INEEDSOMEONE17) reported

    @jackieaus @Foxtel they have a ******* monopoly, but streaming is as worse and sadly both are the only way I can watch **** in hd without piracy or blu rays

  • Jelinaangell Jelly. (@Jelinaangell) reported

  • Omnimech100 Noximilien (@Omnimech100) reported

    @Foxtel Suck my fat **** I pay you enough as is, don't need your **** in my feed as well.

  • JJMulch81 Jean Mulcahy 🖤💛❤💉 💉💉 (@JJMulch81) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Is just no signal on screen. I've unplugged and re plugged. Reset everything

  • agwild49 alby349 (@agwild49) reported

    @randlight take a look at what Americans think of Murdoch/Foxtel & their spread of hate/division like CRT. It'll happen here in Australia. We need to help stamp this out by voting against the lib/nats. Otherwise the likes of 'critical race theory' gospel will start here if lnp are returned

  • klk2111 Karen King (@klk2111) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help My Foxtel remote has stopped working, I can't get support via online chat or phone.

  • Hudich23 Noel (@Hudich23) reported

    What the hell is with advertisements when putting a show on @Foxtel It’s pay TV. We pay not to have this **** on.

  • crowdiegal Just a Peanut with a Tweeter Account (@crowdiegal) reported

    Dear AFL, In the next TV deal, give fans a choice of the commentary they want to listen to. People who pay for Kayo Sports or Foxtel Go should be able to Fox Footy commentary on Seven Network games #AFLGiantsBlues

  • Caro04144945 Caro (@Caro04144945) reported

    @fox_netball @Foxtel @kayosports Worst commentary maddy brown

  • TweetItReal B Spence (@TweetItReal) reported

    A Foxtel "no-signal" issue occured on the 9th May. I reported the issue to Foxtel on the 10th of May. As at the 16/05, the issue is not resolved. A new cable from Foxtel has yet to arrive even though I live in City of Melbourne. @Foxtel #NightmareWontEnd

  • JordanRenouf J//R (@JordanRenouf) reported

    @jonzey0 @AndyLevees @eamonnwarner First year, I’m prepared to see where it goes. Anything is better than the foxtel **** show we had

  • blahdis1 Daz (@blahdis1) reported

    @iiddiieehh77 Question re Kayo, does anyone experience buffering or poor image quality? I’ve heard about it. I pay $53/month for Foxtel to avoid that **** and also have 4K. Trying to work out if it’s good value or not !

  • DavidWinton2 David Winton (@DavidWinton2) reported

    @Foxtel I cancelled Foxtel, never again. Murdoch won’t stress about that, but I feel better.

  • DukeandLeon1 Duke and Leon (@DukeandLeon1) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel Does anyone watch this ****?

  • jim_petrop32 Jim Petropoulos 💉💉💉 (@jim_petrop32) reported

    @Foxtel been on hold for over 42 minutes to speak to technical support. Do not ask me to DM you

  • gjohnsadler John Sadler (@gjohnsadler) reported

    @Foxtel Ive Had Drama since I got this **** box and since you shifted the jobs offshore were farked when we need help. I'm trying to give the box back and So all I get is calls chasing money. No calls returned, when I needed help to make it work though. Oh No, none of that bullshit Mate.

  • TweetItReal B Spence (@TweetItReal) reported

    Foxtel has indicated the delivery of the new cable may as late as the 25th of May. That will mean 15 days of no-signal. At what point does an escalation process kick-in? Does Foxtel even care? @Foxtel #NightmareWontEnd

  • SimonTropeano Johnny Nett (@SimonTropeano) reported

    @footyindustryAU Just remember.....one day foxtel won't have enough money to give a billion dollars to afl for broadcast deal.......and it will all come crashing down. The only thing stopping half Alf teams going bankrupt is foxtel tv money
