Phalanx Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hey guys, I just finished watching military aviation programming on the Military channel on digital cable; so this makes me wonder, do you guys watch it too? I only watch it if there's something about jets or helicopters but most of the time I don't watch it unless there's anything good on. I'm just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnon Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I do from time to time. Mainly because I'm not only a fan of things that fly, but of military history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nied Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'll watch it if there's something good on. I wish it was still the Discovery Wings Channel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The topic description line of this thread concerns me, it seems to imply that some people might think there is something wrong or embarrassing about admitting to watching the military channel? Why would anybody need to feel ashamed about watching it? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Good point Graham. I just thought that it might be a little dorky because we are learning something which is nerdy(little redundant) but then again some of us including me are nerds. It's also worth noting and admiting that most of my knowledge on airplanes and helicopter come from the information on the shiw. Thanx for pointing that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishimaru Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I never even heard of a Military channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 their World War One show is awesome, as is some of their other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I never even heard of a Military channel. 382808[/snapback] same here, who offers it, is it new? Is it like a more military focused history channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelay Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I love it. I can watch almost any of their shows with fighter planes in them - especially ones about the A-10 and P-51. I tend to see those more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxer Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Sometimes I'll watch it if something interesting is on. Though the only thing really to catch my eye was the series about russian aircraft development. Then again I don't watch much TV nowadays anyway *Shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 used to watch it A LOT back with it was the aviation channel, i just lost interest I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalanx Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 I don't know Gaijin. It was just a mistake I made. Like I said, I just thought it was nerdy because we're learning something. A vast majority of the shows on their are educational and informal, but then again there's nothing wrong with learning something new.

Garou Kuroryuu Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Don't have it in my cable grid. =/ I have to go with History Channel, which it's basically the only channel I watch besides Animax. Love history, specially military history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loner Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I used to watch it when it was Discovery Wings, now I only watch when they have something on aircraft. I now just watch the Science Channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 thank you! that's what it was called! I totally forgot.....silly me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Samurai Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Do they have much in the way of new stuff or are they simply replaying the same stuff they've replayed on the History Channel over and over back when there was just that (my friend's wife used to say when they first were promoting the split that, "Finally! They realize history isn't just about wars!"). I don't have cable in the moment. Can't really justify the cost for it when you consider I'd probaly watch maybe two or three hours of it a week. But if I HAD cable and had time (and there was new stuff), I'd watch it. Although you're often getting 'dumbed down' info for the television audience, it's still nice to see footage of things, both old and new. You could probably set up a 24/7 carrier operations channel and I'd tune in from time to time.... and wouldn't be ashamed to admit it.
