Discovery Health

Pros: Amazing health information for all different interests
Cons: graphic and not for children 80% of the time

I finally talked my husband into signing us back up for cable. We’ve been surviving along nicely on our basic 13 channels, but I felt I was missing something. I longed to watch Emeril on The Food Network. I felt like my children were missing out on...

Pros: Couldn't be more compelling and fascinating
Cons: Can also be quite disturbing and scary

When I was put on bed rest a few months ago, prior to the birth of my son, my friends at work were concerned I would do nothing but watch the Discovery Health Channel all day. Some people are addicted to soaps, with me it’s the Discovery Health Channel....

Pros: Educational, honest programming.
Cons: Would appreciate them not blacking out ANYTHING.

I’ll admit it, I’m a healthcare worker "wanna be". For years now I have watched umpteen thousand medical shows. I really prefer “real life” shows such as The Operation, Hopkins 24/7 , Trauma: Life in the ER, I could go on...

Pros: Some great shows!
Cons: Repeats

I started watching Discovery Health on accident. While surfing thru the cable guide, I saw a ...

Pros: Great for those into Health and Fitness
Cons: Operations may show too much blood for some

Discovery Health provides quite a variety of health and self improvement related shows with that "Discovery Channel" quality we've come to expect in our cable TV.

My favorite show on Discovery Health has to be "The...

Pros: See an actual operation
Cons: My be to graphic for some people

I have watched The Operation for a number of years. I have watched it on The Learning Channel (TLC) and Discovery Health. Even before my cable channel offered these two channels I would watch it at a friends house. I do not think he liked it as much as I...

Pros: Excellent graphics and good story lines
Cons: A bit too graphic and too much info

I have become a regular viewer of Discovery Health. This is a great channel that really provides a different view than any other studio version of what happens in ER's and health facilities around the world.
This is a rather graphic channel that...

Pros: Fascinating programming
Cons: many, many repeats!

Discovery Health was added to my Dish Network Top 100 line-up May 1st. It's quickly become my favorite channel on the lineup!

There a lot of great shows on DH. My favorite is an import from England---Children's Hospital. It follows the...

Pros: entertaining for those who enjoy trauma
Cons: biased, subjective, can not be taken as fact, bad advice

I find Discovery Health to be more of a promotion for the medical industry rather than health itself and, while some of the shows are interesting, I do not believe they are scripted in an unbiased, objective manner.

The channel basically...

Pros: Informative, Easy to Understand Programming
Cons: Morning and Afternoon Programming can get a bit dull

The Discovery Health Channel was added to our DirecTV lineup a couple of months ago, and BOY am I glad they did!! I had checked out the "other" health channel a few times, but found it to be full of boring and dull programs that had nothing...

Pros: informative, educational, interesting
Cons: sometimes a bit too graphic, too intense for children

The Discovery Health Channel was added to our DirecTV lineup recently and I have to say, I am hooked already! I much prefer DHC to the other health channel, the Health Network. DHC presents informative and enjoyable programming without being overly...

Pros: Educational for whole family, informative tips on healthy living
Cons: some graphic shows, not for the squeamish

Discovery Health is an excellent channel! This is my favorite station to turn too for fun facts, great advice on health and entertaining shows.

You can watch this channel all day long if you want to, and not get bored. There are a wide variety...

Pros: Great Programming, Interesting Topics, High Quality Programming
Cons: Not Distributed everywhere--you have to have Digital Cable or Direct TV

Discovery Health Channel is fun, informative, definitely has the Discovery Channel feel to it, but is much more interesting to me as a female. The daytime shows focus very much on topics I am interested in, from the latest in plastic surgery (and its...

Pros: learning channel
Cons: not for the weak stomach

I have just started watching this channel this year and found it to be interesting.

I watch "Childern's Hospital" and "The Operation" only on this channel.

I seemed to have learned quite of bit of information...

Pros: health
Cons: graphic

Wow, you never know what you'll see on TV these days. My cable provider just recently added this channel to its basic package. One rainy afternoon channel surfing I came across it. The first time I saw it they were preforming a vasectomy. A little...
