Corporate TV channel for your hotel in every room
Distribute corporate content to all hotel rooms through the TV network. Promotions, hotel info, entertainment agenda, flights, and weather — an in-house channel managed from the CMS, visible as soon as the guest turns on the TV.
Is your room TV still showing a static image?
Static content
A welcome image that never changes. The guest sees it once and switches channels. Lost opportunity.
No useful info
Guests look for schedules, menus, and activities but your channel only shows a logo and a generic message.
Complicated management
Changing channel content requires physical access to the headend equipment. Nobody updates it.
No audio or ambiance
The corporate channel is silent. The room feels empty when the TV turns on.

Everything you need for your corporate channel
Smart scheduling
Define what content airs by time of day, day of week, with repeats. Promotions in the morning, agenda in the afternoon.
Dynamic content
Slides that automatically show departure flights, weather forecast, and the hotel's entertainment agenda.
Background music
When a slide has no video, configurable background music plays. The room has ambiance from the moment the TV turns on.
Split screen
Fixed footer with weather, sidebar with hotel logo, and main area with rotating content. Each zone is independent.
Multiple channels
Create themed channels: general info, sustainability, gastronomy, wellness. Each with independent scheduling.
Auto power-on
The TV turns on automatically when the room gets power. The guest inserts their key card and the corporate channel is already broadcasting.
DVB-T and IPTV
Inject the media player HDMI signal into the TV network via DVB-T modulator or IPTV server. One source, all rooms.
Works without internet
Content syncs and caches locally. If the connection drops, the channel keeps broadcasting normally.

We'll demo it with real hotel content.
How does it reach every room?
A media player at the TV headend generates the signal. A modulator or IPTV server distributes it to all rooms as just another channel.
DVB-T Modulator
Injects the HDMI signal into the hotel's coaxial TV network. The channel appears as a standard DTT channel on all TVs.
IPTV Server
Transforms the signal for IP distribution. Ideal if the hotel already has IPTV infrastructure.
Linux media player
Low-maintenance headend device that generates the content. Self-updates from the CMS.
What does your hotel gain?
Memorable first impression
The guest arrives, turns on the TV and finds useful info, promotions, and ambient music. Not a black screen.
Direct communication channel
Promote restaurants, spa, excursions, and events. Guests discover them without searching.
Zero maintenance
Set it up once from the CMS and it broadcasts automatically. No touching equipment or visiting rooms.
Complement your TV channel with other digital channels
The TV channel is passive content in the room. Complement with interactive channels so the guest can act on what they see.
Smart TV App
Guest goes from watching to interacting: reservations, room service, activities.
WebApp
Same TV channel info but interactive on their phone.
Kiosks
Touchscreens in common areas with the same info.
AiChat
Guest asks by chat what they see on TV.
Digital signage
Same content on common area screens.

Frequently asked questions about corporate TV channels for hotels
What do I need to install a corporate channel?
A Linux media player at the hotel's TV headend and a DVB-T modulator or IPTV server to distribute the signal. We provide the media player and configure everything remotely.
Does it work with any TV?
Yes. Since it's distributed as a regular TV channel (DVB-T or IPTV), it works with any TV the hotel already has. No Smart TV or special hardware needed in each room.
Can I have more than one corporate channel?
Yes. You can create as many channels as you need: general info, sustainability, gastronomy, wellness. Each with independent scheduling.
Does the TV turn on automatically?
Yes, if the TV supports power-on by current (most professional TVs do). When the guest inserts their key card, power is supplied and the TV boots directly to the corporate channel.
Can I add background music?
Yes. When a slide has no video audio, background music can be configured. The room has ambiance from the moment the TV turns on.
Is it managed from the same CMS?
Yes. The TV channel is managed from CMS 360, the same one that handles digital signage, kiosks, webapp, and buffet labels. One panel for everything.
What happens if internet goes down?
Content is cached locally on the media player. If the connection drops, the channel keeps broadcasting normally.
Can I show flights and weather in real time?
Yes. Dynamic slides automatically show departure flights from the nearest airport and weather forecast.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the contract model and hotel infrastructure. We offer the media player for purchase or rental, plus the software license. Request a quote for your case.
What's the difference between TV Channel and Smart TV App?
The TV Channel is passive content broadcast as a regular channel — the guest just watches. The Smart TV App is interactive: the guest browses, books restaurants, orders room service, and checks info at their own pace.
What is hotel IPTV?
Hotel IPTV is a TV channel distributed over the hotel's IP network instead of coaxial cable. It allows more flexibility, better quality, and centralized management. Hoteligy supports both IPTV and DVB-T (DTT) depending on the hotel's infrastructure.
