In India, China, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the rest of South East Asia, the S.E. Asian version of the Discovery Channel is available on digital subscription television. Discovery Channel Asia still shows crime programs e.g. Most Evil, The FBI Files, and etc.
There also is a large number of programming featuring
development and society in Asian countries, especially in India and China. For
example, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore has a number of other channels
branched from the main Discovery Channel: Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science,
Discovery Home & Health and Discovery
Travel & Living.
The Philippines on the other hand, has its own version of the said channel.
The Philippine feed shares the program schedule as the SE Asian feed, except
for the inclusion of the Philippine advertisements during commercial breaks.
In the Netherlands, the Discovery Channel is included in
most cable subscriptions, as well as in the IPTV and DVB-T subscriptions.
Nearly all of the programs are broadcast in their original language, but they
are subtitled in Dutch as is the policy of all Dutch television stations.
Some
programs as well as most promos and program announcements have a Dutch
voice-over. In Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, a Flemish
Discovery Channel launched (previously the Dutch version was available for
IPTV, DVB-C and DVB-S) on Cable (and digital) Television on October 1, 2009.
In Spain, the channel shares a schedule and programs with
Portugal and is available through most satellite and cable platforms, making it
possible to broadcast both in Spanish and Portuguese. In Spain all programs are
dubbed whereas in Portugal most of them are subtitled. In addition, Portugal
has three Discovery-branded channels Discovery
Turbo (Motorsports), Discovery
Science science and technology and Discovery Civilization ancient history, crimes, terrorist attacks, etc.
They
follow the same model as the original Discovery Channel, except for advertising
which doesn't exist on this channel. Spanish adverts are broadcast to the
Portuguese feed, non-subtitled or dubbed.
