  • troy_79 Troy (@troy_79) reported

    I’ve forgotten how bad the channel 9 commentary team is! Foxtel should be allowed to broadcast it live. After all they do pay more money for the rights….

  • ItsMeBrad19 Brad (@ItsMeBrad19) reported

    @Fox_Motorsport @FOXTEL_Help commentary audio would be great. Is this an issue from @SkySportsF1 or what? #F1 #StyriaGP

  • QuestEvrythng Question Everything (@QuestEvrythng) reported

    It’s been a long time coming but we have finally cancelled our Foxtel account! (huge thanks to @martincreely for all your support!)

  • moorey1972 Craig Moore (@moorey1972) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help hi team I’ve recently bought LG OLED TV and have been unable to connect Foxtel. I need a technician to visit and address issue. Craig

  • levalajoh levalajoh (@levalajoh) reported

    What **** do I pay you ***** for if I’m listening to F1 in goddamn silence, fix your ******* broadcast and give me a refund #foxtel #kayo #StyrianGP

  • BernadetteRants Bernadette Allegedly (@BernadetteRants) reported

    @MadamVelvetS @IrritatedAuntie @DavidGr07837209 His audience & influence were dwindling since his businesses have done almost zero to update their business models or service delivery. Hence why the LNP help with FB & Google & the undeserved taxpayer funded handout to Foxtel & local papers (which were all closed shortly after).

  • bozwhite Boz (@bozwhite) reported

    @vijayarumugam @GuidoTresoldi @FOXFOOTBALL Personally not an issue as since cable internet switch off and switch to 5g home broadband and kayo (yes fox lite), still saving $100 a month compared to cable internet and Foxtel days. $9 a month maybe less for aleague members for the new service plus access to CBS/paramount

  • LadyDeathAdder Lady DA (@LadyDeathAdder) reported

    way to go @Foxtel I'm gonna have to watch the stryian F1 without commentary? cos you have issues iwth your satelite feed due to the ******* weather?!? interesting way to watch a race i'm sure not something i wanted though

  • ozcjr ChristraZeneca 5G (@ozcjr) reported

    Right. Can you cancel Foxtel online? #ALeagueGF

  • charlot79848103 ✨✨sharliiiii✨✨ (@charlot79848103) reported

    @Glaven1994 Tassie deffo where the aliens come to land. There was a show a few years ago on Foxtel “the Kettering incident” scared the life out of me!

  • bchristianaus Ben Christian (@bchristianaus) reported

    @FOXFOOTBALL @kayosports Well done to City. And now to cancel Foxtel. See ya!

  • sunflwergoldn georgia🤍💫 (@sunflwergoldn) reported

  • EffieP Effie ♥ (@EffieP) reported

    @Foxtel Are you going to unlock all the blocked channels again during lock down?

  • 365DaysofSport Beefy@365DaysofSport (@365DaysofSport) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Channel10AU go for a break (aaarrrggghhh) and @ValeYellow46 crashes. Their @MotoGP coverage is so poor. It's almost as if they want you to get Foxtel....... #MotoGPFoxSports #motogp

  • friday48753868 friday (@friday48753868) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Paul Murray full of **** cancelling Foxtel a Murdoch crap 💩

  • jwo30 🎤Jo Woods 🎧🎀 (@jwo30) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help The only trouble shooting it provides is that it’s likely I am not subscribed. It’s channel 9.

  • AjOhaccurateone Mr Adam (@AjOhaccurateone) reported

    @nickbarnesaus @kayosports @Foxtel Not a bad rendition of the anthem

  • another_luke_ Luke Dingwall (@another_luke_) reported

  • OhMyGeoff Geoff Kelly (@OhMyGeoff) reported

    Only good thing about losing the Foxtel satellite connection because of the weather, can’t see the end of a terrible @WestCoastEagles game.

  • pbeekm68 💧Peter Beekman (@pbeekm68) reported

    @Foxtel You could offer your all channels package for 1 cent only for the next 100 years, and Rupert would never see that cent.

  • WizardofWoyWoy Wizard of Woy Woy (@WizardofWoyWoy) reported

    Ok everyone, #aleague is over. Time to cancel Foxtel/Kayo! #ALeagueGF

  • mitchrochford mitchrochford (@mitchrochford) reported

    @Foxtel Is @Foxtel still a thing? I have six streaming services and it’s still cheaper per month than your terrible service

  • ozman024 Osman オスマン🇫🇷🔴⚫ (@ozman024) reported

    @sunflwergoldn It appears it's an issue with Sky Sports, not Foxtel
