Anyone able to dl Discovery Channel app?

Sometime yesterday Discovery Channel announced the availability of their application for Android. Has anyone been able to find it? Following the link provided in their official twitter feed led me to a 404, and Marketplace searches yield nothing for me. I'm on Droid Eris.

Discovery Channel Launches Android App - AppScout

Even the QR code I found here yields nothing:

How'd you get it? What did you search for in the marketplace (search term)? I still can't find it.

I searched for "Discovery" and it was at the top of the results list.

This QR code took me there as well:

That yields nothing for me, I wonder what's going on.

Searched for it on my T-Mobile Pulse and nothing. Probably needs the later versions of Android.

It works on my Sprint HTC Hero running 1.5. I'm not sure what version of Android the Pulse uses.....

Odd, considering it's working on the Hero, which is basically the same phone.

The Eris is running 1.5 though... If anything I thought it could be the opposite (wasn't sure what version the Hero is running).

Firmware says 1.5, but I believe HTC snuck a few 1.6 features in there.

Hey hey Eris users, it's now available in the Market. (too bad all widescreen videos seem to be compressed into 4:3, whatever).

What does the Discovery app do? Anything of interest or just a redirector to their web site?
