Why DIRECTV?

 
You may be wondering what a LodgeNet and DIRECTV® FTG solution can give you that a cable company or another satellite provider can't.

CONSIDERING CABLE:

  • Did the cable company include HD pricing in their original quote?
  • Does the cable company have a relationship with all the major hotel brands and understand what channels your brand requires?
  • Are they encrypting their content as broadcasters mandate?
  • Will they require a set-top box in each guest room?
  • What length of contract are they offering, and is it short enough to give you the flexibility you need?

You should also know...

  • Cable companies cannot provide your public spaces with subscription sports content (for example, NFL Sunday TicketTM). Subscription sports packages for hotel public spaces are available ONLY through DIRECTV® Sports, a LodgeNet exclusive.
  • The customer service scores of some cable companies are lower than that of the Internal Revenue Service.

CONSIDERING ANOTHER SATELLITE PROVIDER:

  • Is the provider transmitting video content at a minimum of 12 megabytes per second (Mbps)?
  • Has the provider succesfully installed more than 250,000 guest rooms with HD FTG solutions?

You should also know...

  • DIRECTV has a significantly larger footprint than any other satellite provider in the residential market.
  • Other satellite providers cannot provide your public spaces with subscription sports content (for example, NFL Sunday TicketTM). Subscription sports packages for hotel guest rooms are available ONLY through DIRECTV® Sports, a LodgeNet exclusive.

When all the facts are in, the conclusion is clear:  Free-to-Guest from LodgeNet and DIRECTV is the superior solution for hotels of any size.
