Rush HD humanizes the adrenaline, continuing to redefine the action genre, both technically and creatively, giving viewers the ultimate home entertainment and edge-of-the-seat experience. Equator HD brings the world's most intriguing places and people into intimate and personal contact, with exclusive stories of remote cultures, rare geography and unique rituals that hold a mirror to ourselves and how we interact with our planet. Treasure HD is about cool people and cool stuff. It’s about exploration, the thrill of the hunt, and the joy of discovering that rare, unique find.
