DMC.TV is a Thai cable television channel concerned with Buddhism. Its main taglines are "the secrets of life revealed" and "the only one channel" (sic).

The channel is owned by the Dhamma Education for Environment Foundation. DMC stands for the Dhamma Media Channel. It uses content from real life, and advertises itself as being suitable for people of all ages and religious persuasions. It broadcasts songs, documentaries, and cartoons 24 hours a day.

The channel frequently discusses the "Eternal Questions", such as the meaning of life, afterlife destinations, whether life is predestined, whether heaven and hell exist, how the Law of Karma works and the existence of black magic and the supernatural.
