What Channels Are Included In Discovery Plus Streaming

Okay, let's talk Discovery Plus. It's like a digital buffet, but instead of questionable shrimp, it's got...well, questionable reality TV. But also, some pretty cool stuff. So, what channels are actually lurking inside?

The Big Players: Familiar Faces You Already Know

First, you get the basics. You know, the ones you accidentally leave on in the background while folding laundry. Think HGTV. And Food Network. It's a constant cycle of house flipping and cake decorating.

Then there's TLC. Home of the "Say Yes to the Dress" marathons and, let's be honest, some genuinely bizarre relationship shows. You can also catch Investigation Discovery (ID). True crime junkies, rejoice (or maybe get some therapy).

And don't forget Animal Planet! Cute puppies! Scary sharks! Everything in between (mostly). You'll also see Discovery Channel, with its usual dose of nature docs and dudes in beards doing...stuff.

Hidden Gems (and Not-So-Hidden Reality TV)

Beyond the usual suspects, Discovery Plus dives deeper. You'll find content from channels like DIY Network. Get ready for some serious home improvement inspiration (or, more likely, envy).

Magnolia Network is also there. Fixer Upper fans, your Chip and Joanna fix is secured. And for the travel bugs, there's Travel Channel. Prepare to drool over exotic locations (while sitting on your couch).

Let's not forget about OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). Because everyone needs a little Oprah in their lives. Especially while binge-watching true crime.

And if you're into the supernatural, they've got Destination America, home to ghost hunts and unexplained phenomena. Believe it or not...unexplained!

The Unpopular Opinion Section: Is It Worth It?

Here's my controversial take: Discovery Plus is…fine. Not amazing, not terrible, just…fine. There's a lot of content, sure. But a lot of it is also…repeating.

You can find yourself lost in a sea of "House Hunters" reruns. And "90 Day Fiancé" spin-offs that get more and more outrageous. It's a slippery slope, my friends.

But, if you're a superfan of any of the channels listed above, it might be worth it. Especially if you enjoy catching up on shows without cable. Plus, the streaming quality is usually pretty good.

Consider the cost of cable versus the price of Discovery Plus. And whether you REALLY need to see another episode of "Dr. Pimple Popper." That's a question only you can answer.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. But hey, at least now you know which channels you're potentially getting sucked into. Happy binging!
