Two hotel TV quotes can differ several-fold because they include different scope. Knowing the cost components lets you budget realistically and compare correctly.
| Component | Includes | Price drivers |
|---|---|---|
| Headend | Antennas, dishes, converters or IPTV encoders | Number of channels, resolution |
| Server and software | Middleware, menus, content management | Rooms, features, perpetual or annual |
| Network | Switches, LAN or GPON | Reuse vs new cabling |
| TVs or STBs | Hospitality TVs or boxes | Screen size, platform |
| Integration | PMS link | PMS type |
| Installation | Install, configure, test, train | Rooms, phased work |
| Annual costs | Licences, channel rights, maintenance | Rooms, channels, service level |
