FOXTEL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DrDreHistorian André Brett (@DrDreHistorian) reported

    @evilscootus Possibly, but I think 2 other reasons: 1) AFL remained FTA. Shield crowds died the second it went to Foxtel 2) Aus cricket fans are most arrogant in the world. They only turn up to Aus vs Eng or India. I loathe it. It has sent my "support whoever's playing Aus" through the roof

  • TimeCertainRace TimeCertainClock (@TimeCertainRace) reported

    @egarciapress @SupercarsAr Sucks cos id love to watch 2015 as i didnt have foxtel then and was the first year they werent all on fta. Thats why the races from foxtel befor there were allowed to go u i suspect fox didnt car since they aired earlier on fta

  • TerryTa19927094 High Seas Harry (@TerryTa19927094) reported

    @MaxKatandJane @lesstenny Or any other Murdock rag, ch 9,7,10, abc it’s all crap. Foxtel Skynews etcAny Aussie with Foxtel should cancel it immediately, only way to fix Murdock is via the pocket

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I wrote down all the movies I want to watch for Christmas over Foxtel and I found when I counted them all there were 40 movies all in total and I started watching them from this morning already so let’s how many I can watch by Christmas Day.

  • jiminnsw jim marr (@jiminnsw) reported

    Trying to deal with anti-customer attitude of @Foxtel a never-ending frustration

  • pekwat Pekwat (@pekwat) reported

    @arceniy @scroogecapital How would you treat the Foxtel debt? Seems that News Corp HoldCo has $2bn of notes and ~$1.3bn of cash. They treat the Foxtel equity and inter company loan as a News Corp asset. How do you view it?

  • pekwat Pekwat (@pekwat) reported

    @arceniy @scroogecapital Yeah, ultimately 15x or 18x and Foxtel debt all irrelevant unless they are willing to do something to close the gap to NAV. Buying back stock was a good start, but too slow.

  • arceniy arceniy (@arceniy) reported

    @scroogecapital broadly agree on the thesis, don't agree on the multiples and ND treatment (think they only account for NewsCorp debt since Foxtel is non recourse?). Problem with SOTP/NAV discount is that it never works unless really spinned-off/sold

    @FOXTEL_Help Gone to this link doesnt help at all

  • dynawilly Dynawilly (@dynawilly) reported

    @CarlDPayne @NyadolNyuon I've never had Foxtel or SkyNews and by what I've just seen it was a good decision. Are these people for real? They should be shut down.

  • sue_mcgorlick Sue McGorlick (@sue_mcgorlick) reported

    @aus_lab @lesstenny And cancel Foxtel. I’ve manage to divide without it for 9 years.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    Since I wrote down all the Christmas movies I want to watch that I picked over Foxtel I have so far watched 5 out of the 40 movies.

  • C_G_Vibes Captain G Vibes (@C_G_Vibes) reported

    @theheraldsun Andrews still in front despite ALL the negative bullshit Newscorp have published over the last month, the message is, PUT NEWSCORP LAST, never buy the Herald Sun/Australian/Telegraph, Vogue Australia, GQ Australia, Body+Soul, and Vogue Living. cancel Foxtel/Stan

  • MatthewJ_Scott Make-It-Happen Matt (@MatthewJ_Scott) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help, just thought I should let you know that one of your staff members told a customer of ours to get their hearing checked because they couldn’t hear the staff member over the TV! The TV volume couldn’t be turned down because the Foxtel remote unpaired itself!

  • Kimick4 Kimick (@Kimick4) reported

    @SkyNewsAust The article and the host are insane. This may be a good time to cancel Foxtel before you go mad too. Paying for stuff like this is a form of self harm. It's sad.

  • DAM01983 DΛMΘ (@DAM01983) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help foxtel go app isnt working cant sign in at all??

  • Tommy10cents Tiger Tom (@Tommy10cents) reported

    @Foxtel Without any doubt, the worst organisation to deal with for any sort of help. Do u purposely make it so difficult so we close our accounts so you dont have customers? You want it all done via text msges with overseas people who dont even know a thing about Foxtel 🤬🤬

  • JakeBeer11 Jake 🍺 (@JakeBeer11) reported

    @darrengilmore6 @Discovery @Foxtel Yeah and that flight to Hawaii is only ten hours looking at water so I will make sure I don’t miss that aeroplane down show

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I wrote down all the movies. I want to watch for Christmas over Foxtel and I found when I counted them all there were 40 movies all in total.

  • PrometheanFire7 The Unknown Citizen - Abolish LNP (@PrometheanFire7) reported

    @Idtlwwy15 @ScottyArgyle71 @PhillipAdams_1 There’s that, and also the well known fact that they pandered to Murdoch because bandwidth was a challenge to Foxtel until he set up Binge. They actually sabotaged our network to placate one greedy businessman. LNP and Murdoch media must become things of the past.

  • trbaldwin1 Tony Baldwin (@trbaldwin1) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help my parents iq4 box is having issues with some channels not transmitting correctly maybe the Crime network - CI but others are fine any ideas we’ve tried rebooting and rescanning

  • runningbare101 💦 All Native 🌱🌾 (@runningbare101) reported

    @vanhug @catherine___c It’s all in your head. Cancel foxtel and stop watching Sky, you’ll feel better and won’t be such a *******

  • RemoveMurdoch REMOVE MURDOCH MEDIA (@RemoveMurdoch) reported

    @RavenZech2 best thing to do would be to cancel your foxtel acct.

  • MiddleAgeMike MikeyG (@MiddleAgeMike) reported

    @cmkusher To me the issue is simple. In private sector, would Lowe’s comments have constituted misleading & deceptive conduct if similar wording on pricing were used in ads to sell insurance, a car lease or a Foxtel subscription and then price was raised above/earlier than indicated? 1/

  • Allhandzon Dec (@Allhandzon) reported

    @calpolmami Always interested to see the shows the person that doesn’t know I use their foxtel login watches

  • FoMoni Monica Foster (@FoMoni) reported

    @TheRealCozey @Foxtel I never said or implied anything about free-to-air. In other countries WWE have partnered with Disney+ which is significantly more in-use here than Foxtel/Binge. It's also cheaper while offering 4K, more content and more multiple streams than Binge.

  • JoelDFleming Joel David Fleming (@JoelDFleming) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help is @Foxtel down again as it was a week ago. Only some Free To Air channels being received on my IQ5 box via NBN. Have restarted box, issue remains.

  • runningbare101 💦 All Native 🌱🌾 (@runningbare101) reported

    @JohnRuddick2 The poor thing is clueless and injected with stupidity. Turn the foxtel off kids.

  • lightbulb001 Ashley Scott (@lightbulb001) reported

    @OMGTheMess It's ironic that they target Murdoch. Go through the financials of Labor representatives you'll find the majority have no problem with the free foxtel subscription.
