For the basic channels, I'd say History Channel even though I grow tired of the UFO, nostradamus predictions, and monster quest BS. It seems like all of the good shows are on History Channel 2 which is not available on basic cable. Every time I go to Discovery Channel, they are showing a marathon of Ice Truckers, Deadliest Catch, or Mythbusters....I don't discover anything new other than people whining about something on those shows. The worst show is Cash-Cab....fooking annoying

Ye Olde History Channel would be nice, but as of right now I'd have to say Discovery. A lot of shows they used to have about actual HISTORY moved to the Military Chanenl, so the only good thing left pretty much is Modern Marvels. Other than that, they've been airing such boring crap like Cities of the Underworld, Monsterquest, and Pawn Stars (which just is made to sound like "Porn Stars" in a Southern drawl).
Discovery on the other hand still has Dirty Jobs and Man vs. Wild. If nothing else is on, I will resort to watching Mythbusters (which sucks nowadays) or Deadliest Catch (mildly interesting in small doses) or even How It's Made (Canadian show ), unlike the History Channel where I can't tolerate to even listen to Ice Road Truckers or the idiotic UFO/ghost hunting shows.
Thus, by a count of 2 shows I would watch to 1, Discovery wins.

History Channel.

All of the cool, awesome and intresting things that have happened in the history of humans has a chance of being on the History channel.

All of the cool, awesome and intresting things that have not happened yet, may not happen and we may not even know about, may or may not possibly have a chance of sometime being on the Discovery Channel IF and only IF there is not a scheduling conflict with Deadliest Catch or Shark Week or whatever shoddy reality show happens to be on at the time. 

The last thing the Discovery Channel discovered was how to get ratings by pandering to the veiwer with the lower IQ.

discovery channel used to be amazing, and i was proud to call 26 my favorite number as a kid.  strangely, now that the good shows have all disappeared from discovery channel, history channel is now channel (7)26.  ¯\(°_o)/¯

Military Channel wasn't an option and they aren't the same channel.  But you picked Discovery so now you get neither History nor Military, enjoy watching some faggots on a fishing boat.

Discovery.  History Channel seems to play the same shows over and over every year with a few exceptions.  I don't watch those reality shows on Discovery.  There's only a few shows on History worth watching (Universe being one).

But it isn't THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, it's the Military Channel, an offshoot of Discovery. 

Kind of like you wouldn't say MTV2 is MTV, they aren't the same channel but are from the same producers.

No I don't. Also, I hardly watch tv as it is boring.

We only get Discovery Channel on basic cable over here (as of October 1 2009). From what I've seen, the amount of reruns exceeds that of National Geographic (which is linked with Cartoon Network on a single channel, NG starts at 8pm). I like Ultimate Survival, Fifth Gear and How Does It Work. However, I can't stand crap like Ice Road Truckers, Swamp Loggers etc. It's just "Holy crap, our expensive machinery broke down for the gazillionth time, now we don't get paid... We have to do 20 loads or otherwise we'll be in debt" repeated ad nauseam.

PS: those guys at American Chopper make fugly bikes
PPS: there's an MTV2?

Well apparantly the military channel isn't very boring, too bad it doesn't exist for you anymore.

I'd keep Discovery.  I love History,  but they have pissed me off too many times.

example: A shitty ice/rain Sunday, a glorious lazy couch day and I settle in on a six hour long course of the history of WW2; PERFECT...AWESOME.
Then, around two o'clock, BOOM!  "The History of Ice cream"

Is the History Channel still in 2005 in some places of this country? The shit they have now is fucking horrible. They barely even talk about the Nazis (AKA the Washington Generals of the History Channel) anymore.
