Overview
- DIRECTV’s Advanced Entertainment Platform will integrate Google TV’s business-focused Android TV OS to offer live TV, on-demand content, and access to apps including Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV, Prime Video, and YouTube.
- Guests will sign in to personal streaming services via QR code authentication with automatic daily data clearing and a manual option to remove information at checkout.
- Google Cast support will let visitors stream video, photos, and music from Android and iOS devices as well as Macs, Windows PCs, and Chromebooks to in-room TVs.
- DIRECTV materials indicate a simplified, hotel-branded interface that can start live channels immediately, uses a smaller app drawer, and drops the usual content recommendations.
- Full deployment is slated to begin in 2026, and DIRECTV has not disclosed which hotel chains will adopt the system.
