Apple probably isn’t going to be launching its new web TV service any month soon, but to hold users over until they can cut cable, Apple has added a new channel from National Geographic to give users their nature fix.

The new Nat Geo Apple TV channel includes access to tons of original productions from the National Geographic database. Some clips can be watched for free, however, full episodes to most shows require you to have a current cable subscription.

Nat Geo’s Apple TV app is similar to the iOS the company released last year that includes a number of different categories and topics to choose from. Subscribers can watch shows like Life Below Zero, Live Free or Die, Brain Games, and more. The new channel should be available for all Apple TV owners in the U.S., but if you’re not seeing it yet a quick reboot will likely bring you the goods.
