It includes the Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, OWN, Travel Channel, HGTV, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network.
Now that the reality and lifestyle behemoth has launched in the United States (and in a large number of countries worldwide), there’s a good chance you and thousands of others are wondering if you can get the streaming service on your Apple TV.
The short answer? Yes, you can get Discovery Plus on Apple TV. In fact, for Apple TV 4K owners there’s even a selection of Ultra HD shows and specials just for 4K-enabled Apple TV devices. Discovery Plus is currently available on Apple TV models running iOS 11.0 or later. Do note that you’ll need to be using an Apple TV 4 or later to download and use the app — Discovery Plus doesn’t support any older models.
