The RetroVue® System can enhance a hotel guest's visit by enabling distinctive entertainment services, from basics like digital picture quality, expanded channel lineups, and Video on Demand (VoD), to state-of-the-art features like program time-shifting, program re-start, missed episodes, and personal channel bundles.  Guests are freed from the tyranny of television time schedules; they have control of their viewing experience so that work and play can come first.

The hotelier benefits not only from guests' improved customer satisfaction, but also from improved operational efficiencies and capacity:  

• Depending on the existing infrastructure and hotel size, the television channel lineup can be extended by converting to switched broadcast over cable, IP multicast, or even unicast; with a unicast (dedicated) channel to each television, the number of channels that can be offered is literally unlimited.
• Hotels can offer local businesses and services VoD space or air-time for informational video.
   
• Affordable pricing and buy-as-you-grow scalability remove barriers to entry.  
• Lightweight HTML-based middleware is simple to customize, maintain, and update.  Changes can be done in-house using standard development tools.
• Flexible billing options create new revenue opportunities.
• Standards-based, open system integrates with existing infrastructure and competitive systems, and leaves room for future growth and service enhancements.  

Personal TV services add to a guest's sense of luxury, and GoBackTV's RetroVue System can make this happen.

 

 

Hospitals, Campuses, and other Private Networks

The scalability of the RetroVue System makes it ideal for other building-area-networks or campus-area-networks whose clients would appreciate the convenience and usefulness of personal TV.

For example, in a hospital, not only could patients and visitors view either educational videos or more standard forms of movie or television entertainment, but they would be able to pause the video during medical procedures or other interruptions, and then resume at a later time.   They could also watch programs they had missed.  It would help alleviate both boredom and frustration.

Or, within an educational or organizational campus, RetroVue could be used to serve training and educational videos, and could also deliver television entertainment on students' and workers' schedules rather than on the traditional broadcast schedule.
