Discovery Channel HD broadcasts nonfiction programming centered on science, technology, nature, and engineering. Its schedule in the United States includes documentary series covering subjects like space exploration, animal behavior, forensic investigations, and large-scale construction projects. The channel also airs survival-oriented content and historical programs that examine military technology or natural disasters.
