The BBC may not have broadcast the 2500 hours, but they had it on other services - iPlayer, red button, etc.
So far it doesn't look as though Discovery is going to do the same.
If you're say, big on Fencing, you might be SOL if you want to watch it live.
Early days, though, they could easily have a streaming service on par with the BBC's offering by the time it comes around. See what happens though. The BBC were widely acclaimed for their 2012 coverage, I think they were easily the best worldwide. That's a tough act to follow.
