That's why we don't get effective and constructive online discussions everywhere... especially in those fb groups like what you mentioned. That's why I am glad to get to know Lowyat Forum 
Talking about Chinese subtitles, like for the recent channel launches on Astro, especially HBO Hits, HBO Family, BBC Lifestyle, Paramount...
Some netizens started to make noise on Astro fb page, complaining why those new channels:
- doesn't have Malay subtitles?
- why only Chinese subtitles is available?
- aren't you forget that Bahasa Malaysia is bahasa kebangsaan (national language)?
... and many more unpleasant provoking words.
If you guys still remember many years ago when Astro firstly launches Fox Family Movies channel, they actually offered both English audio and Mandarin audio dub.
Many Malay viewers were outraged on astro fb page, asking why there's Mandarin audio dub but don't have Malay audio dub? And whatever unpleasant provoking words you can think of, they've said it all.
Eventually, Astro removed the Mandarin audio dub on Fox Family Movies channel, therefore until today, Fox Family Movies channel on Astro is only available in English audio.
Back to Unifi TV, BBC Lifestyle channel doesn't offer any subtitle tracks at all.
Is it because they know that since there's only Chinese track available, so to avoid backlash from the Malay community, TM decides not to provide that Chinese subtitle track at all, hence making BBC Lifestyle channel on Unifi TV to have no subtitle track?
Does it means, as long that particular TV channel doesn't Malay subtitles, then they shall not provide Chinese subtitle track regardless, to prevent public backlash?
So what can we conclude here?
Yes. Astro always know how to handle this kind of problems. Decoder able change the default language not like Unifi. Sometimes is a bit hard for my parents don't know other languages.
