Good news and bad news about this, at least for me!
Discovery Communications has released a Discovery Channel
application on the iTunes App Store, bringing heaps of video content produced by the popular non-fiction media company to the iPhone and iPod Touch. In addition to video clips, the app also boasts a collection of quizzes, photo galleries, programming schedules and updates from Discovery News. Furthermore, you can use the app to share content via e-mail and save to favorites for your re-watching pleasure.
Evidently, full episodes for Discovery’s top programming (Shark Week, Man vs. Wild, MythBusters, etc.) are not available through the free yet ad-supported application, but it does come with links to the iTunes Store where the media company offers a selection of full episodes for purchase.

I am an avid fan of Discovery channel, so this is great news. I caught every episode of Man Vs Wild and now I am chasing every Monday’s Treasure Quest.
But just as I got too happy, I realised this is only available to US users. I couldn’t find it on Singapore iTunes Store at all. What a dampener. Ha.
