Discovery Channel
Discovery Travel and Adventure
Discovery Civilizations
Discovery Sci-Trek
Discovery Animal Planet
Discovery Investigation
Discovery Kids
and their +1 variants.
May have been more, but my mind escapes me.

I'm well aware of those, I remember them. Those I mentioned have different circumstances. The majority, for example, are Free-To-Air and the the reason FTA channels often don't share their parent's branding is their parent wants to keep it for their premium (Pay) products. The old legacy channels were from a time when Discovery didn't do FTA and positioned themselves as a provider of premium TV. FTA is relatively a new market for them.
