The Odyssey Channel was a documentary channel that was previously available on Optus Vision in Australia. It was one of the few channels on pay TV in Australia that had a large amount of Australian content available.

Due to the CSA (Content Sharing Agreement) between Optus and Foxtel, it was closed in 2004. Foxtel would not allow it on their platform due to it competing with their license of the Discovery Channel brand, and Optus decided it could no longer fund it.
