Nat geo channels imo are leaps and bounds ahead of Discovery for quality content these days.
It's not clear who actually owns the Discovery EPG slots. It's generally accepted that Discovery own them apart from TLC which either of them may own.

Apparently, TLC resides in a slot that was previously recycled from a former Sky channel.

They will have to find a way of keeping their valuable SD EPG slots alive that conform to Sky rules; it's suspected that they may show temporary programming at various times of the day.

If not, Sky have created a generic 'channel' showing the slate that I posted earlier that they can point the various Discovery EPG slots to.
