    Tried watching @Wimbledon on @Channel7 but it is being shown with a terrible 576i resolution. Lucky I can watch it on @Foxtel with true 1080p HD. Oh well you get what you pay for with free to air TV.

    @OfficialAD12 @ALeagueHQ @CapitalBrief DAZN is worse. Please don’t wish that on us unless your saying that it goes onto the kayo/foxtel platform. The DAZN app is terrible.

    @StanSportFC I have the app downloaded on my smart tv and through Foxtel. Both aren’t working properly. The Foxtel app keeps buffering and the smart tv app keeps freezing. No issues with the rugby so it’s a specific EPL steaming issue.

    Debt collection response….. #Telstra #foxtel To whom it may concern, cc: CEO Your Ref: 98209489 I received a “Notice of Assignment of Debt” (in big red font) regarding an alleged Foxtel debt of $414.38. I am writing to advise you that you may have purchased a defective debt when you bought this debt parcel from Foxtel. Let me explain……. When Foxtel first launched in Australia it was with much fanfare, the Packers, the Murdochs and Telstra united to create a great company, Newcorp and then Channel 9 under the Packers, would supply content and Telstra would provide the infrastructure and roll out which would also double as a backbone for the then Bigpond internet product which would force consumers onto their network due to access to the infrastructure. Smart! As time went on and management changed, they started to consider liquidating their stakes. It also made sense that Telstra be a reseller of the Foxtel product. So in circa 2009 moved into a new house, in leafy Malvern, Victoria. Given you’re based in Sydney, I would think it's akin to Turramurra in vibe. I digress. At this time, I owned a few race horses and was right into the AFL. So true to the intent of the duopoly (Forgot to mention Optus Cable - thats a whole other story) and signed up for a trifecta bundle. Home phone, Foxtel and Bigpond, exactly as the Gods at Telstra had planned. The Foxtel component of my monthly bill was, say $130.00. I remained on this bundle until I moved out of the home in early 2024. Anyway, I use this milestone as a pretty precise date for when I could approximate my turning off certain services.  So at around this time, Telstra ceased becoming a reseller of Foxtel and ported its accounts across to Foxtel. This is where it starts to get interesting. Let's assume some upstart Associate at a Tier 1 Law firm sat in a meeting trying to work out a bit of leverage in the transition of these accounts. So, said Associate, a couple of blokes in Navy suits and cufflinks from a Tier 1 merchant bank/corporate advisory, all decide over assorted sandwich triangles or maybe a sushi platter, to put some KPI’s on the transition.  The Einsteins with the pocket handkerchiefs came up with a minimum and maximum for all sorts of metrics. The most important would be ‘account churn’ on the transition. Somewhere along the way, the Gods at Telstra saw their KPI was looking shaky, so they just started moving accounts, and here's the rub, when they did that, they didn't tell the customers!  Next bill comes in and it's from Foxtel! I think nothing of it because it's still ******* with Telstra. The bill had gone from $130 per month to $400 plus per month. So I jumped straight on the phone to Telstra and ask WTF! They inform me that there's nothing they can do because it's now controlled directly by Foxtel. So, logically, I call Foxtel, who have the worst hold music known to man, and speak to them, saying I received a substantial bill and asking why it changed.  They said, well, cause the package you were on no longer exists, cause it was a Telstra product, so now you’re on a Foxtel product! I said “well cancel the subscription.” They said, we need you to clear the account.  This is where the peculiar and circular stupidity magnifies. The Americans like to say ‘getting wrapped around the axel”. Basically, my account shuffled between two elephants, process inefficient, corporate disappointments. And as a lowly businessman, who has seen inside both these companies over 20+ years, am relegated to the ping pong of ownership. CEO, I copied you on this as I think it's fair to say there would be a bunch of these accounts in the parcel you bought, so I hope you paid f#%k all in the dollar for them.   1/2

I remained on this bundle until I moved out of the marital home in early 2024.

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Pearl clutching for what? Everyone will choose Origin because its been the pinnacle for 20 years The reason its been the pinnacle is because international footy is boiled down to "lol australia won" So they want to weaken international footy to keep origin the exact same. Nice
