Tks a meg, Bro!! For all the updates!!

Will keep an eye open for both those channels....

Sokong betul

Hehe... setiap orang ada kesukaan dan pilihan sendiri... dan terlebih dahulu, saya ingin nyatakan bahawa saya memang menghormati sesiapa punya pilihan.

For me, personally, I also don't watch any korean/japanese channels, not because its not good... but because I never liked to "read" the subtitles which can also make mistakes too. I don't mean any disrepect to people who love korean dramas, shows, etc. Hehe... I remember the good old days in the 70s and I still remember once when I went to watch an english cowboy movie where the hero shouted "on my command, open FIRE" which was shown in the subtitle as "atas arahan saya, buka api" !!! It should be "mula tembakan"... I laughed so loud in the cinema that people near me looked at me and "sshhhh". Another time was "where are my wheels" which was subbed as "dimana tayar saya?". Should be "dimana kereta saya". Well... time has changed now where we see less of such silly mistakes BUT some translation mistakes DO occur !

Well... when as*teruk adds more korean channels later... I won't be surprised IF filipino (or from other non-english countries) channel may be added in future because I suspect (I maybe wrong) its cheaper to have such channels. Damn, if it happens for as*teruk! Again... no disrespect to any people here.

Wow... I noticed MAK Ch 203 indian channel is now showing (08:39pm - 09:33pm) the great Alfred Hitchcock golden classic "Vertigo (1958)" with audio in tamil. I have watched this movie many many years ago from rented videotape and its a great thriller... but I, hehe... cannot understand tamil and there is no subtitle too.

In the previous thread (Version IV), at that time, I did mention why there was no dedicated malay HD channel... and now there is Mustika HD.

After I read the posts here about the additional new korean channel to be launched later in as*teruk... and begin to think and have to ask this... "how come NO dedicated Indian channel in HD ?" I am chinese... but I also feel that its not fair to my fellow malaysian indian friends who also deserve to have at least 1 or 2 Indian HD channels. Chinese have the in-house Wah Lai Toi (SD) and Zhi Zun HD, and Malays have in-house Ria, Prima, OASIS (SD) and Mustika HD. Why NO HD channel for our fellow malaysian indians ?

Why add 1 more Korean channel when as*teruk did not think of adding any Indian HD channel ? Is it that hard to find any indian HD channels ? As a chinese, eventhough I don't understand tamil/hindi, I feel that its not fair to the indians here not to have at least 1 Indian HD channel !

Peace

The third one is definitely coming, and this may not be the last one.

Before the existence of Astro, we have always had a lot of programs in English even on free to air channels such as TV2, TV3 (TV2 especially with all those night movies sponsored by cigarette companies). That unfortunately didn't seem to help Malaysians with their pronunciation and all. And with this addition of Korean channel, Korean channels are still outnumbered by channels broadcast solely in English.


Malay subtitles on Korean channels or Korean programs shown on other local TV channels are usually poorly done. Have to refer to Chinese subtitles if one wants to get the best and most accurate translation.

Translations in Subtitles hv undoubtedly improved over the years.
Mayb Astro (after making better profits) is now capable of paying better qualified translators?
Yu get wat yu pay for, rite? Applies here, too!

And yup, too...there still are mistakes!
Even by newsreaders. In the pronunciation of certain words.

Wat took decades 2destroy wld not be recovered in juz a few years...sad but true.

HD channel already got subtitle right?

yup, recently notice many channels do have subtitles

children are happy with it.

Hi. I'm new user for Astro Beyond.
Currently all my HD channels has this "copy protection failed".

Is there any solution on how to solve this?
Thanks.

just need to call Astro CS to fix

Did you connect any AVR or other device between the Byond decoder and your TV? Copy Protection Failed message usually because there's one non HDCP compliance device between the Byond decoder and the TV.

Fyi.
