Seems to be a VOD that does documentaries - UHD etc. Some of the documentaries look pretty good, actually.

Is it available locally?

I don't have any of the platforms mentioned. Elsewhere, it says Samsung Smart TV - but I couldn't find the app
 
Took the plunge and subscribed today. Bargain at $20/year for HD and $70/year for 4k.

It's pretty much a Netflix for documentaries. For those who liked the old Discovery Channel, Nat Geo and History Channel, before they were infested by reality crap, this is for you.

The library could be bigger but I'm sure it'll grow over time.

App was on the LG Store. There's also an app on Xbox...
 

So since then, I got a new TV and it's in the app store - so I had no issue getting it in the end.

But let me know how it goes with UHD streaming? I had my 25Mbps up/down line that streamed everything perfectly in UHD, except this! I then upped it to 50Mbps up/down and I still had the issue. I'm unsure if there was possibly an issue over the week I tested - but I decided to drop down to HD.

Main reason being that when it could do UHD, instead of dropping resolution - it'd just buffer! And there was no way to manually select a resolution.
