Discovery Channel
reviews and complaints

I am watching Opal Hunters and have been timing the adverts. I am watching only 5 minutes of program and then the adverts are playing (the same ones over and over) for 5 -6 minutes.
It is very annoying to have my viewing interrupted again and again to watch advertising that you have on a endless loop playing the same adverts over and over again.
You are rubbish and I wish I wasn't paying for this rubbish.

Earth live square is louder than the program we're watching and is very distracting. No reason to have #earthlive blasting tbe screen, takes away from the program. Turning off the channel if its still there after the comnercial break. I enjoy watching naked and afraid, however, looking at the #earthday live loud square at the bottom right ruins the experience. Commercial is over and the diatracting ad is still there. I will be changing the channel because my wye keeps looking at the square that doesnt seem to have any importance. Either it should be dimmed or removed after a few minutes.

For gods sake stop playing the same 3 commercials! We turn the channel and forget to turn it back! And btw, we couldn't remember the names of any of them with a gun to our heads so they aren't effective at all only makes us avoid your channel. Date of incident? Every 15 minutes! Description? Some women whining about her food in a box and here it is again twice in a row (thrive market) and some stupid [censor] orange car with leg room as if we give two [censor], buy american trucks and you won't have to worry about it! Good god it's sometimes twice in a row then once more before the show restarts its ridiculous! And it just came on again you suckkkkkkkkkk!

We bought our son a telescope for Christmas, we have followed the instructions completely letting it adjust to the outdoor temperature etc and it does not work atall... Literally can not see anything very disappointed with this product... It wasn't cheap at £25 so would have expected it to at least work... How do I go about returning this product and getting a refund please

Watching episode 5031 watching them build a cabin and they dropped a log on a ladder and broke it then they walk towards the ladder and it was fixed the scene changed and ladder was broke again unacceptable guy's what you doing not making these shows believable airing it like that it's horrible for ratings and makes the discovery channel look like fox

If Discovery Channel wants to maintain its integrity, it should quit funding the show Gold Rush. That obnoxious show has desecrated our town of Fairplay in the name of getting the mass amounts of gold they need to supposedly break even. I find that really hard to believe. The show is accurate in the sense there was land they wanted to mine was zoned residential. Our lovely commissioners rezoned it to mining even though it was adjacent to homes. Apparently Jack Hoffman threatened them with a lawsuit if they did not follow through and allow the rezoning. They have disemboweled land right next to a visual corridor in our town and then go on TV and act so dramatic about getting the gold from FAIRPLAY. Yes, it is land that is zoned mining but nobody had the kind of money to excavate it the way they have. Not to mention the Volvo promo. It's pretty obvious Volvo is carrying the show. It's ridiculous! The show should be canceled.

I personally watch a Handful of channels such as yours, just to avoid all of the polarizing, politicizing commercials and hyperbole, while getting some education or enjoyment. I am shocked and appalled at the Trump impeachment commercial, not because it's Trump but because it's an acknowledgement of an alternative reality that keeps our country divided and going in the wrong direction. I understand the need for commercials but I think this is crossing the line. Though I love your channel, I hope that if you continue to air this commercial your viewership will suffer because I know that I will stop watching. This kind of unsubstantiated claims hurled by some rich man with an agenda will not sit well with the type of people who watch your channel to escape this type of nonsense. Sincerely a concerned viewer.

I'M done watching your channel! It was my favorite I watched almost all your shows NOT ANYMORE! Your commercial about Trump is pure lies! You can not impeach a president just because you dont like him! If this was about obama there would have been riots in the streets. ALL this does is to further the divide and expand the hate brought on from the left! This will never bring us together. I bid you goodbye until you remove that hate spreading commercial

This is a disgrace, having a commercial about impeaching our president. When he has done far less wrong then Obama and we were not allowed to impeach him, and oh that's right President Trump was VOTED in and he has already created jobs but the liberal left media doesn't want you to know that. It wants nothing but to get him out of office before he can take away their cash cow.

The commercial about impeaching our President. This is outrageous. Didn't see any of the commercials when Obama was president. He, Obama committed plenty of impeachable offenses as well. If this continues, I will not only stop watching this channel, I will as well be spreading the news of this egregious act to all my friends. Obviously President Trump is our President and has been voted in as so, contrary to the liberal media's dislike. Please respect our current president and take your complaint to other sources rather than on air where we enjoy your channel for entertainment value.

How to build... Everything.
Discovery! Bull dust. The Discovery channels used to stand for something, that was so people could learn. Now, you have dumbed it down to the point that you are literally lying to everyone, all of the time. I accept that you must sell content in order to survive, but stop your blatant sensationalism. I beg you, for the sake of our children.
I don't mind you using outmoded measures such as feet and inches, I grew up with them and can understand them, new people cannot.
Also, I dive with Great White Sharks. Stop your nonsense about demonizing things for ratings. It is so easy to know when an advert is coming because of your very obvious incidental music. Then, you get to repeat the rushes, because average human beings allegedly cannot remember 30 seconds into their past. You not only insult your viewer ship, but you are complicit in the degradation of society. Again, Discovery! Just tell the truth. By all means, be amusing, but please, be truly factual.

Sincerely yours,

Neil Brown

Gold Rush: The Game
Purchased through Steam on 10-20-2017

The game is listed on Steam as a finished product. It is not finished and
does not work as advertised. Code Horizon the developers are blaming the
Discovery Channel team for the reason.

There are over 2000 complaints since it began selling 3 weeks ago.

Because of steams refund policy it is impossible to get a refund.

Network replays old footage constantly. 1st on supposedly new episodes, 2nd on 50% after commercial breaks. If people are not watching and following the show then you have already lost. As for the people who actually tolerate the extra footage are your true fan base. I actually record the shows I like so I can skip to the actual new footage. Stop the drama as well. If the show is about gold mining, then show more of the things you guys did in seasons 1-3 of gold rush...diagrams and 3D extrudations of how it works. This has kept me watching, learning. Not the fight or the random guy who shot at crew members. Stop it. Reality... anyone who actually uses a chainsaw doesn't use ear protection...do you know why? Please actually ask me my email [protected]@gmail.com
I know you have advisors who predict ratings and outcomes, and some people actually follow that too. I live in the mountains and it's very easy to see the amateurs. Especially when it's scripted to put them in certain situations for dramatic purposes. Maybe you just want to suck in the bulk of the tv ratings and make money, I understand that, but please get real off the grid pioneers or someone who has experience.
Sorry if this was rude, but sometimes a degree from communications, marketing, & ... is not enough.

download sending a complaint regarding the above Gold Rush. I have watched this scine being on your channel I find it along with a huge amount of people in Rotorua challenging absorbing and most of all wanting to know what is going to happen week to week till there set gold target at end of there season before the ice sets and they are frozen out. I realized a couple days ago this programs has stopped showing after more than 3/4 through the season and is not going to show the last 5 weeks of the end of the season. I honestly cannot believe you would carry this on for 1 more week to Finnish the season. This is like giving you a movie to watch or sport game and only showing 3 quarters of it and then stopping it and showing the last or final quarter 6 weeks or more down the track. Part of my monthly bill to sky goes towards paying you as does other customers who pay sky. I don't have the words to say how disappointed I am in you. What can be said is this is absolutely unprofessional ignorant and of very very poor care towards your customers that watch this channel. If this is what you think is good business then going back to study training Wairaki to learn the value of customer's. I feel so close to putting this down on Facebook world wide but will wait for your response. UNBELIEVABLE Regard Dave Geraets 38 Yoko Road Hamurana Rotorua [protected]

I don't know who thought it would be okay to not have Edd China. He was the reason we put up with the annoying fellow just so we could watch him make actual repairs. I realize this probably isn't the proper place to complain for a Velocity program but it is all I could find. I will not watch the new show and hope that you either restore Edd or give him his own show.

Your Channels abuse on advertising and ridicules human cartoon programs have taken JUNK TV to a all new high. Your channels once put out quality TV. And your abusive advertising that is so BAD you add 5-10 minutes to hour shows that already have more than the PAYING VIEWER should be subjected too. Get your ridicules programming back to 1 HOUR without the 5-10 minutes of relentless advertising like the other more Ethical Networks. 1/2 a Trillion Dollars Capital Not Enough?! I'm dropping my Service and I know MANY others doing same because of your companies Policies! Its a sad state of affairs that your once quality Network has now become GARBAGE!...

I am a U-verse subscriber and want to watch episodes of Manhunt Unabomber but am having it lock up and not play completely. When I try to view past episodes of Manhunt having logged in as a U-verse customer the episode plays OK for about 10 minutes until it hits the commercials after which it says continuing video but it bombs out and loses the connection. What can I do to get the episodes to run in their entirety? Marshal Wilke [protected]@sbcglobal.net.

I watched "You Have Been Warned Asia" Season 1 Episode 1 tonight in Hong Kong. In this episode the hosts spoke about pirating goods and technologies by China or the Chinese countless times - in fact they did that so frequently that it actually became very boring and disturbing. The names of the hosts were shown with subtitled descriptions such as "Mr. XXX - quality controller of a Chinese pirate factory" or "Mr. YYY - owner of a Chinese pirate factory" which I somehow doubt was their true identities. Have you got something against China or the Chinese? Frankly I do not find that funny or interesting and actually I find the whole program racist and the hosts (the majority of which were Filipinos and Malaysians, which are not traditionally best buddies if the Chinese) unfit for the roles.
To make sure my views are taken seriously this complaint will be submitted to the TV authority in Hong Kong, as well as being sent carbon copied to the members of the Board of Discovery Channel.
Thank you for your kind attention. I look forward to your response.

This is regarding your show charlie chaplin that is telecssted on discovery kids and has too much of adult material such as eve teasing and kissing.Such obscenity that too on a kids channel is should not be promoted by a responsible channel like yours rather is also againt Indian laws.Your are therefore requested not to telecast such show and immediatedly take it off air.
