QUOTE(dayojah @ Jul 5 2019, 08:44 PM) The MCMC is not worried about people watching neighbouring country DVB-T2, they do chase illegal satellite gear and the IPTV piracy boxes. From what I see, MCMC seems to focus more on Android boxes than non-Malaysian satellite TVs boxes. Now, MCMC uses the law of an non certified equipment to crackdown those users. At least it is better than those days, where some silly ministers says the reason why parabolic satellite dishes is banned because of pornography and the content are not censored. Cheh, as if services like Astro is so damn halal like that... Nonsense excuses. |

But to think again, even if satellite TV boxes are banned for the reason of using non certified equipment, do you seriously think that there is no other electronic equipment or devices that are non certified by SIRIM and MCMC in our homes now? Why not MCMC announce that they'll strictly enforce to other equipment as well, such as karaoke systems, speakers, and basically those electronics you see on Pasar Road in Pudu. If MCMC is so damn capable and so free, nothing to do, and so much money, they might as well go crackdown every single electronics in online shopping sites like Lazada, Shopee and even check every single parcels from other countries that has electronics in it to see if it's certified by MCMC or not.
Because, nobody cares. And Astro ain't gonna care about those non-certified equipment that are not related to their business cuz it won't benefit them, but the use of foreign satellite TV boxes would impact their monopoly pay TV business, so for them to scare Malaysians in the news like this, is a common business practice for them for many years already. I hope MCMC can focus on more important things that matters all Malaysians, such as Internet, mobile cellular services, and those monopoly telecommunication companies and service providers like Astro and TM. Don't waste time to make Malaysians lives to become harder. If a user uses specific non certified equipment (e.g. wireless CCTV, cordless phones) where its operating frequencies range that is not allocated to Malaysian allocated frequencies, and causes interference to other users and services, then yes, it is right for them to take action to those who causes that due to the use of non certified equipment. But, not all non certified equipment tend to interfere other devices. As long the non-certified equipment does not causes harmful interference to other telecommunication services and/or would severely harms the user, then MCMC should just stay away from it and focus on other things. Stop using this kind of "illegal" satellite TV nonsense to dictate how Malaysians should watch TV. Satellite TV dishes installs at homes (including Astro) are receive-only, and it does not transmit, so it won't have interfere other telecommunication and wireless services. Safety issues? No guarantees that it will be safe and might causes electric shock or explode? Come on, other countries don't have safety regulations on electronics similar like SIRIM or MCMC is it? What makes Malaysia so special then? Or this is just to benefit local TV providers like Astro so they use this kind of excuse? As you can see, Astro's spokesperson talks a lot about this. Obviously they "collaborate" with MCMC to make this kind of news to scare Malaysians so that there is a chance that we would indirectly resort or stick to Astro service. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2019...dish-crackdown/ In the future, Astro will still continue to do this kind of stunt once in a while, so that the media will remind Malaysians to not use illegal satellite TV services, and expecting us to go for Astro, and pay for their services. Afraid of losing business lah.... The more Astro trying to do this kind of stunts, the more Malaysians will stay away from Astro. It's not that we will die without Astro also. And mind you, not allowing the people to receive foreign satellite TV channels via private-installed satellite dishes are actually one of the tactics that restricts freedom of expression (human rights) used in some other countries, hence in my opinion, the people should have the rights to choose their own sources to obtain information including from TV channels, and has the choice to obtain it without any government controls like censorship, be it if it's news or entertainment. |

Joshhd, I totally agree with you. MCMC should focus on more important matters rather than some whimsical lame flimsy excuse to ban TV Boxes, foreign IPTV decoders and foreign sattelite TV decoders. They should collobrate with MYTV and fix the areas with poor, intermittent or no reception at all for MYTV Myfreeview broadcasts. They should address the issues of why subtitle (closed captioning), Teletext and Red Button services is not working on MYTV platform. Also they should fix the missing intermittent TV show name, sypnosis and info on the MYTV EPG. No matter what day, no matter what time, EPG must always be there 24/7.
MCMC should concentrate on areas where there is no fibre Internet or Internet at all and start rolling out the 5G cellular network and concentrate on more important things that matters. Astro on the other hand is a big bully and big monopoly buissness which collobrates with MCMC and conspires against their competitors to bring down other competing TV services and make them go bankrupt or fail. Astro services and content are basically rubbish and you pay so much through your nose. Astro is basically showing low class garbage, low quality programs, low rating programs that no bobody wants to watch. Basically they are showing a lot of rubbish and there subscription prices are so expensive. That's why I cut off my Astro subscription a long time ago. I was paying RM150+ a month earlier for so much crap and garbage from Astro. By Astro collobrating with MCMC to bring down other TV service providers, they will make more people hate and despise Astro and stop using Astro for good. |

Anyway guys.......I have been searching around MYTV and Myfreeview facebook comments, it appears that people who complained about subtitle not showing up even after manually selecting the subtitle........are using "MYTV Combo" aka cheap China brand decoders (try typing "mytv combo" into shopee and lazada). There are few who bought China brand TV with integrated DVB-T2 tuner and the subtitle doesn't show up even after selecting the subtitle.
But it doesn't explain why I can get Brunei channels subtitle displayed properly....... Now I am hesistating to buy cheap DVB-T2 decoder without confirmation if the RTM subtitle can be displayed....... |

FYI switchable subtitles and HbbTV (Red Button, Teletext, Video on Demand) are working on my Sony TV. So check the receiving TV / decoder if these are missing.

During no internet era, a govt. can censored foreign news with stupid excuse to keep people in dark but in current I.T. advanced era, it is impossible for a PM to hold his or her position in so many terms.

Upon checking, RTM is using HD subtitles. This will cause problems to some cheap off brand DVB-T2 decoders (which subtitles will be unable to display), however it should work fine for certified MYTV decoder or normal TV sets (this should not be said for some off brand certified TV sets, based on the comment of a forumer). Note that Mediacorp is using SD subtitles.

I can't say much about certified MYTV decoder.....but.......definition of normal TV sets =-> cause some China brand televisions (with weird resolution as it is HD-Ready 720p only) with integrated DVB-T2 tuner also cannot display the RTM subtitle.....funnily enough, those cheap TVs are labeled with DTTV logo....... |
