Documentaries are some of the most rewarding things to watch on a good TV, especially in 4K. Apollo Group TV gives you documentaries two ways: dedicated live channels that broadcast them around the clock, and on-demand titles you can start whenever you like.
Topics you’ll find
- Nature and wildlife: oceans, mountains, animals and the natural world.
- History: ancient civilisations, world wars and the stories behind famous events.
- Science and technology: space, engineering, medicine and how things work.
- True crime investigations and documentary series.
- Travel and culture from every corner of the world.
- Sport documentaries about legendary teams, athletes and rivalries.
Live or on demand
Live documentary channels are great for discovering something new: just switch on and watch. When you know what you’re after, browse the on-demand documentaries by topic. On supported channels, catch-up lets you watch a documentary that aired earlier.
Best way to watch
Nature documentaries are often filmed in 4K and look stunning on a big screen. If your TV and connection support it, choose the 4K version; otherwise Full HD still looks excellent. A wired connection helps keep long documentaries smooth.
