That's funny. Every time I went to China, I have always spoken Mandarin from the airport custom to hotel reception desk to sightseeing to buying stuff from trader. We must have been to different places then.

But I guess you are right. Gwangdong is the center of China so Chinese program must all be in Cantonese because Cantonese is No.1  doh.gif . I hope Obama can speaks Cantonese to President Hu Jintao instead of Mandarin  blush.gif

You're really one dumb dude, eh ?

In airports and hotel in Malaysia, the custom and receptionist also speak English, does that mean that ALL malaysians know how to speak English ? laugh.gif

You should mix more with a lot of these commoners especially the older generation ! I have been to china many more times than you. rolleyes.gif

Try to watch taiwanese hokkien serials, and you'll know a lot of older generation don't speak mandarin but only hokkien. If you're rich, then fly to taiwan yourself. yawn.gif

Only dogmatic people like you say cantonese is number 1, I didn't say that.

I say that it is alright for people to learn their mother tongue be it cantonese, hokkien or hakka.

Only losers like you ONLY know mandarin. laugh.gif

Reminds me of those Miss chinese international competition held in TVB every year, I noticed that Malaysian contestants can speak cantonese and mandarin, only losers like YOU and singaporean contestants need a translator. whistling.gif

talking about mandarin, the north western mandarin slangs are very hard to understand, like they are from mars LOL

Not only north west but north east slang is also very different from malaysia and singapore.

Mandarin is a chinese language spoken by the Manchurians who cannot speak chinese properly, just like how malay or indian speak mandarin.

I think we continue any discussion on chinese languages in another forum.

Astro is stopping AOD and Dynasty packages after Chinese New Year, due to the debate over Mandarin and Cantonese
*
laugh.gif

Astro has channels for the 3 chinese languages ie.

301 - AEC - Mandarin

304 - Jiayu - Cantonese

333 - Hua hee Tai - Hokkien

334 - Mandarin

Wah lai toi - Cantonese

The only language they cannot satisfy are the Hakka.

So stop complaining (except for Hakka) !

I subscribe to Dynasty packages and only watch Wai Lai Toi & Zhi Zun (only Three Kingdom), don't waste my time on the other channel in the packages.  I love to watch AOD new serial release on the same time as in Hong Kong.  Look out for CH 338 HD on 3rd February 2011.

Is it temporary or permanent ?

haiiii.... we have been waiting until our neck also becomes very long and longer.

the same goes with discovery HD.

It seems the available bandwidth used up for astro first already, so no more new HD channels.

the cons/wish list:
1) should have HD in other programmes - cinemax,tlc,diva channel,zee channel,discovery,animal planet.
2)bulky remote.noticed there are buttons for those using pvr but if take out the buttons,am sure the remote will be less smaller for those not using pvr

cheers!

3) no closed caption for ONE HD and other channels
4) huge logo covering part of screen when we press pause button !

I'm afraid that Ch310 and Ch338 will be showing the same content.
If it's true,  it'd be unfair for Dynasty Pack Byond's subscribers.

So it is for all subscribers and not just gold, emperor, dynasty only ?

Anyone confirm it will be HD or SD ?

So this CNY we will have ch310 for a few days ?

Instead of giving us another NEW chinese channel, Astro is so cheapskate to put the same shows into 2 different channels ? shakehead.gif

Instead of giving us new shows and new channel, they go and give us a current channel. doh.gif

Actually, those already subscribed to ch 310 won't have ANY advantages this CNY.

If he is customer service head, he should resign bcos most of us know customer service in astro SUCKS !

I complained about those FIXED subtitles in channels such as AXN, Discovery channel etc since 2006 which obscure the viewing screen.

Until today, nothing is done to remove it into closed caption.

He joined in 2008. His words of wisdom are few and far between, judging by his post count  rclxms.gif

A total of 2 posts and you said his words are 'wisdom' laugh.gif , he has multiple accounts to hide his true identity.

Yeah, he should definitely resign because you have said so.
This is what I call 'true wisdom'. laugh.gif

By the way, are there any complaint forms receive by Astro customer service, and most importantly, do they ever ACT on it.

I remember last year, I went to astro office in bukit jalil. Lo and behold, I met this angry customer...

He complained about how poor Astro service is, how the manager don't reply to his phone calls etc after numerous complaints made.

I received few letters from Astro quering if I want to upgrade to B'yond or not but choose to ignore it. 2 days ago the Astro customer service call me and ask me to upgrade top B'yond. I told her that i will do so when all your channels are upgraded to full HD or else what for paying RM20 for only few channels viewing in HD.

Complain to LAPAQ and see what he can do about it.

Astro packages is now more expensive bcos of the 6% govt tax so it is not rm 20 but rm 22. laugh.gif
