DALLAS, Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
AT&T1 continues to transform in-room entertainment
for hotels and lodging guests through the DIRECTV Residential
Experience (DRE) with DIRECTV CINEMA®.
In addition to the current DRE features – premium content,
hottest new pay per view releases, an interactive program guide and
select DVR features – guests now have access to the entire content
library from HBO® and SHOWTIME®. Content from Cinemax, Starz,
Encore and more networks will be available soon.
Guests do not need to subscribe, login or authenticate an
account. They can watch what they want, when they want, and on the
best screen available—the hotel room HDTV.
"We are excited to put control of the latest and greatest
content and technology in the hands of hotels and their guests.
Properties with DRE have an advantage because they can offer their
guests some of the comforts of home," said Doug Eichler, vice president of commercial
DIRECTV sales, for AT&T.
DIRECTV CINEMA with On Demand provides the highest viewing
experience by using an on-premises video storage and caching
server. This server not only provides a best-in-class viewing
experience for the guests, but the property also receives the
following benefits:
- Reduced long-term high speed internet access costs
- Minimize guest Wi-Fi usage from video streaming
Also, for a limited time AT&T offers hotels that currently
subscribe to DRE the DIRECTV CINEMA and On Demand Equipment at no
extra cost**.
Properties who subscribe to DRE can also offer guests customized
TV messaging, a complete folio review as well as express
checkout.
DRE is now available at over 4,500 hotel locations nationwide,
which includes properties managed by Best Western, Hyatt, Starwood
and others.
