  Alex Carter (@abbacarter) reported 7 minutes ago

  Has PVL sent instructions to Annesley to ensure the Broncos are still in the comp? Part of the rights deal with DZN / Foxtel or what? Downright embarrassing officiating. Off night from Cleary though, his kicking game was poor #NRLPanthersBroncos #PanthersvBroncos

  @C1_1RIS As an international fan, I find it ridiculous that the entire season isnt broadcasted by the same company But it also isn't my problem cuz foxtel broadcasts the whole season

  @sandylanceley @Channel9 @wwos I think with the new rights deal Foxtel will have the broadcast duties Maybe that may help with the coverage Stand corrected

  Foxtel must be desperate to sell tickets for the Fredumb 250 UFC disgrace, poor old Gerard has to keep pushing the broadcast at every commercial break.

  @Tksed_1 @FinancialReview Stan is struggling with B grade sports content Rugby EPL etc & thats the groups biggest income source.. They made a bold , HUGE play for the biggest sport in the land the NRL & that would have seriously harmed DAZN/foxtels viability so DAZN/foxtel said **** you !!

  @footyindustryAU Foxtel price is at its absolute limit - can’t be jacked. If they didn’t get NRL it was an insta cancel. Now they have so few of the sports it’s no longer a one stop shop it’s a different equation.

  @timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....

  @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?

  @Markedw For the SBS to outbid the likes of foxtel or Amazon . If a publicly funded network can outbid paid services.. maybe it should be looked at

• 
  Nat Geo (@___Geo__) reported 22 minutes ago

  @kayosports how do you expect people who live in remote Australia to be able to watch any live sports? These restrictions are absolutely ridiculous and anti consumer. The only way I can watch anything that Kayo has access to is by paying full price to a Foxtel service box?????

  Yo Foxtel, every bloody time android updates you're way behind. Why am I paying a bill for a service I'm not receiving? I'm even on your beta test and you're still slow. I'm relying on your app on holiday ATM and nothing! #freebills @FOXTEL_Help

  Why does ******* Foxtel need 5 firms if if to register a complaint . Seriously get some consumer action scout you for gods sake

  James Jones (@JamesyJones) reported 30 minutes ago

  @OMGTheMess Hahaha. Yeah televise women’s sport. That was proven to be bs. That’s what they ‘claimed’ it was for. And estimates proved not a single additional women’s sport was televised. Also Foxtel never even asked for the money or reported what they did with it. $40m given away.

  @catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.

  @FOXTEL_Help the app my Foxtel app is not working????

  NRLBOSS (@1WeakGuttedDog) reported 34 minutes ago

  @banditkayfabe WWF RAW was on Fox Sports 1 on Foxtel at 8.30pm on a Tuesday night for us. Always a few hours late but I was glued every week for about 5-6 years solid without fail.

  @TV_Blackbox The only losers would be DAZN (who own Foxtel and Kayo) and Nine (who own Stan) although if Nine keeps FTA rights it wouldn't be quite so bad for them.

  and i need to find out how im gonna watch it cause i am not paying like 60 bucks a month for foxtel **** that😭😭

• 
  AKoz9 (@Koz9A) reported 43 minutes ago

  @RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.

  Biscuitman (@biscuitman007) reported 43 minutes ago

  @Hugh_96 @balumbah I agree, as there's no accountability in RA. You can fail and fail again, and no transparency. My view is that 3 years after the RWC, when the money runs out, Foxtel will buy rugby for peanuts. Only then will it get fixed.

  Um @Foxtel we seem to have a language programming problem hahaha

  @Foxtel u say u provide the best entertainment & sport.... the latest series of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch premiered 19 May 2026 in the USA.... It's July & youre still not screening in Aust - why am I paying $100/mth for second rate service? @HISTORY @BrandonFugal

  💧Vratislav Krsek (@vkrsek) reported 49 minutes ago

  @StanSportAU we don’t want advertising during live sport. That’s the deal I signed up to. Now you’ve changed the deal. I’m a Premium continuous customer paying $42 pm. Just like I cancelled #foxtel I will cancel you. #9entertainment

• 
  George W. Grundy (@georgewgrundy) reported 52 minutes ago

  Absolutely outrageous - you can buy a UFC fighting subscription from @Foxtel with one click, but in order to cancel you have to phone a call centre and take over 30 minutes to get it cancelled over the phone. Absolute ripoff, what ********.

  @FOXTEL_Help please do not tell me you can’t answer me has I don’t have a picture like you did on Facebook. Spent 2 hrs with Tech support 35years customer cannot tape past the 29.6.26. Told someone more senior in tech would call today now nothing.

  Good goal, too bad we missed it because Foxtel are obsessed with showing replays of absolutely nothing #AFLLionsHawks

  @FOXNRL Tallis would be the main reason I cancel my Foxtel. Can’t watch 360 because of that Neanderthal.

  @codenrl **** I feel sorry for people who don't have Foxtel and have to put up with retarded old **** head every week!
