Discovery Plus: 5 Things You Should Know About Discovery's New Streaming Service | Cord Cutters News

New year, new streaming service. This week, Discovery launches its own dedicated streaming service known as Discovery+ — although it's stylized as discovery+. We gave the service a test drive this week to explore the content library, user interface, and overall streaming experience. There's certainly a considerable amount of content available right at launch, but ultimately, it's up to you to determine whether Discovery+ offers enough to be part of your overall streaming arsenal. So if you're curious about what this new streaming service has to offer, we're here to help.

These were the only channels I watched before cutting the cord so it’s perfect for me. Very easy to navigate.

[BenHodgeThemeParkEndeavor]

I cancelled my subscription with Discover plus after 1 day because they didnt have the classic shows from more than ten years ago which I really loved, and I really don't care for their content they put out now for the most part.

Discovery+ is quite an anticipated Streaming service with featured channel partners; it just hits the spot for streaming Infotainment.

[AdrianReddix]

Discovery+ gives everyone another reason to not go back to cable. Keep up the good work CCN.

I don't know who you are, but this is one of the best made youtube videos i've watched in years, thank you

I was a fan of Homicide Hunter (Joe Kenda) which was the top rated show on Discovery ID. Kenda's new show, American Detective, will only be available on Discovery Plus. That REALLY SUCKS. Discovery ID is already included as part of the high cost of YouTube TV, so having to pay even more for one of their new shows ain't going to happen. These media companies make boatloads of money already and screwing their viewers with these type of tactics really pisses me off.

I signed up on day one and I’m happy with it and plan to keep it. We do not have cable or any of the live streaming services so this is good for us. I really don’t care if I have to wait for the season of a show to end for it to be placed here. I can wait.
We have Disney+, HBO Max, Brit Box, and now Discovery + with no ads. Antenna for local news and sports. We are good!

[robertfletcher]

The biggest reason I have started a subscription with Discovery + is Mythbusters. It looks like all the seasons are available. There are only 3 episodes in season 1, but it's possible that season only had 3 episodes. I have only watched maybe 10 - 15% of the shows, so I am looking forward to going back to see them. I'll admit, however, that I like Untold Stories of the ER and Cash Cab.

Access to the Discovery Channels is the primary reason why I pay for $20 a month for Philo TV. It seems like a good option to cut Philo and only pay Discovery $4.99 a month for the same channels.

[robertwegnerjr]

I have Philo that plays all the shows I watch with Discovering. There has been ads that pops up now saying I can only watch my new episodes on Discovery + and that upsets me since now I have to purchase another streaming channel. These greedy Corporations just want more money. It's coming down to where we will have to have 20 streaming apps to watch our shows and that is going to cost more than Dish or Direct Tv.

[andrewhyet]

Do you know if possible if discovery + will ad more history Channel shows and seasons of American pickers and or pawn stars?

[jayh]

Trying out Discovery + but I have Curiosity Stream already that I paid $12 for a whole year, so will probably just stick to that.

[tomniedringhaus]

I have Discovery+ but wished the History Channel had more programs. The one program I want to see on the History Channel is Modern Marvels.

[urbantransport]

This is a good start for Discovery Plus. Did see early reviews that "a good number" of shows that aren't available on the service yet. Also, there are some shows that are missing seasons from the series. Hopefully they'll arrive on the service soon.

[Psalm.]

For anyone who has the $4.99 version of the service with ads, about how many minutes of ads are in a show? On live TV it's about 17-18 minutes of ads in an hour-long show. Hope this is way less than that, otherwise the ad-free version would be the only way to go, IMHO.

[flikchik]

I'm on Verizon and have been offered it. Thanks for the review I guess I will try it out. Thanks again

[bdwalton]

I wish they would offer an annual subscription.

[texasgal]

So what does the premier preview mean for the magnolia network? Will it stay on D+ or will it go away later?
Thx in advance for the info.

[jenniemanley]

Does anyone know the difference between start watching and watch now please? I have a series I would like to start watching but it says start watching instead of watch now and it doesn't start when I press to start?

[Tom-cyem]

So far Discovery plus is awesome and only 4, 99 per month, I'm very happy.
