I have been a customer for over 20 years continual so I think I have right to bring up my first gripe.
Foxtel’s phone system is nothing short of a disgrace.
This shortcoming does nothing for the creditabiliy of Foxtel as a major player in the entertainment industry.

Foxtel is growing a huge group of disenchanted subscribers who discover once they “upgrade” to the iq4 box and therefore a satellite connection that they are no longer able to record more than one HD FTA channel at a time. And to do this they need a suitable antenna installed something they didn’t need prior.
All sorts of gobbledegook has been advanced by Foxtel as to why this is but most seems to centre on the FTA channels not paying for the bandwidth they need to support hd broadcasts through the satellite.
As we advance to a time when all cable subscribers are going to be forced onto satellite a failure to address this issue is going to accelerate people turning off of Foxtel which it seems has already commenced.
Hi,
I had Foxtel with free to air tv which was terrific. I had moved house and brought my Foxtel box with me. I had thought all I had to do was get the technician to connect everything and it would be the same. No , that is too simple, even though I could see the free to air channels as the technician was tuning the box in, he said I can’t have these “free to air “ channels as there has been a dispute with free to air and Foxtel.
Come on Foxtel get your act together, I have down graded my package to one, and hardly put Foxtel on at all now.
I really only watch Foxtel Go now. I believe you are missing out of a lot of business from me, if I had free to air channels on I might be enticed to have a bigger package.
Seriously with all the streaming companies like Stan, Netflix, Amazon, and others coming soon you would have thought foxtel would bring out a box that actually works, I have the iq4k box and every day you have to unplug the box and reboot. You constantly have recording issues with sound dropping in and out. You also have constant recording failures and freezes if you stream. You also lose recordings and series links just vanish. Geez Foxtel what a upgrade!
