I didnt think dogs could see tv.

OH yes, dogs love TV. Especially when you leave them by themselves.

That was true in the old days of NTSC TV. Dogs have a faster vision frame rate than humans. The old interlaced SD picture just looked like flashing lights to a dog. With the advent of HD and 1080p, the frame rate is fast enough for dogs to see moving pictures just like humans.

My dog watches Cardinals games with me. He is a baseball fan

As said above, this Dog TV has been on DirecTV for years. I've watched a few minutes of it during free previews.

If this your your thing, and you want programming for your four legged friends to watch without pay $5 for the privilege, I think one of the Discovery channels has a marathon of Too Cute, can always DVR the puppy episodes and play them on a loop.

One of our two cats likes to watch nature shows with me...

Yes and that is a major drawback IMO

My dog, a German Shepherd mix, has no interest in watching TV. When watching a nature show or dog show on National Geographic, I have tried to get him to watch but he just sleeps.

I've actually seen them watch TV. (I've seen my two cats watch the TV too.) I don't know why they bother having DogTV in color though, due to the fact that dogs can't see colors (unless they also consider the actual people watching the channel as well).

According to this Dog Vision dogs can see some colors.

I stand corrected. Humans can’t see ultraviolet though. I wish I knew what ultraviolet looks like. When I’m in heaven I’ll probably figure that out, so until then...

DogTV has been available on Roku for over a year, yes it's a subscription at $4.99 per month.
My dog goes crazy when she sees another dog on TV, just the other night she jumped up and slammed her paw on the TV screen.
So no way am I getting that channel.

Now that's funny

My dogs watch the channel and enjoy it, however there are some dogs they will see and back at on the TV.

But just shows me they are paying attention.

One of my cats lost interest in a cat video pretty quickly. The other kept looking behind the TV for “those cats” on the screen.

I have a DVD of the documentary film Winged Migration. My cat would sit for hours watching this film.

Looks like it officially launched finally. $4.99/month in beautiful SD. That’s right... $5 for an SD channel in 2018. You heard it here first, folks!!

If you want it in HD, go Roku!

A lot of the video shot is from the 90’s early 2000’s so not sure anything would be in HD even if HD was available.
