Tokyo – Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific has announced it will launch its first high definition simulcast service for Discovery Channel in Japan this October. The channel – Discovery Channel Hi Vision – will be a high definition simulcast of Discovery Channel’s standard definition service which is currently available in 6.2 million homes, and will replace the existing Discovery HD service. The existing Discovery HD service has received significant support from viewers as Japan’s first documentary channel in full-scale high definition picture since the channel was launched in December 2005. To attain a higher level of viewer satisfaction, Discovery Japan is transforming it into Discovery Channel Hi-Vision. This is Discovery’s first high-definition simulcast launch outside the US, and is also the first documentary channel in Japan to offer a high-definition simulcast.
