Review: Online Episode Player - Learning Channel/Animal Planet/Discovery Channel

Judith Blakley
Discovery Networks has one of the clearest and most professional online episode players available; however, they offer so little. They combine their three networks into one player: The Learning Channel, Animal Planet and The Discovery Channel.

Shows Currently Available:

LastOneStanding
Mythbusters
MeerKat Manor
What Not To Wear

How to Use Discovery's MovePlayer:

1. MovePlayer's web address is: http://video.discovery.com/#

2. Click "Launch Player" and another page will open with the available shows from all their networks.

3. After clicking on the show of your choice, the available episodes for that show will appear for you to choose from.

4. When you choose your episode, a commercial will play, then the player will open up to a full screen with all it's controls.

My Experience With the MovePlayer:

I found this was one of the fastest to load and easiest to use of all episode players to date. My biggest issue is that none of the shows I'd like to watch are being offered.

    Just tried it with my media center. Great quality, however the "full screen" is not really full screen resulting in the possibility of burning in the borders of my plasma TV...If they could get full screen really go full screen like the netflix player it would be a winner!

    Writer's Strike Note: When you watch a television show online, download a podcast or buy a season on DVD - the writers get no residual income. The actors, producers and network make money, but the people who wrote the words the actors spoke get nothing.
