Just as consumer viewing habits have changed beyond recognition since the first TV was installed in guestrooms, so too have guests’ expectations of their in-room media experience. And while video-on-demand has certainly revolutionized the world of hotel entertainment, it is not a transition that happened overnight. In the article below from Hotel Business Magazine, Hibox Systems's COO Bill Anckar walked us through the evolution of in-room entertainment, with a deep dive into how TV technology has brought that transformation to the hospitality industry.

When TVs first became mainstream in guestrooms, hotels initially offered just a limited number of channels. It was only when cable and satellite TV became prevalent that customers came to expect significantly more choice. In the 1980s and 1990s, guests started to see VCRs in their hotel rooms, allowing them to rent and watch movies at their convenience. Next came pay per view content which enabled easy access to movies, sports events and, of course, adult content (unfortunately not here...... 😅) , generally for a fee. However, in hotels, this type of pay TV content typically played on a loop, and guests would either have to accept jumping in part way through or wait for the movie to restart on the pay0TV channel. Now that fast, speed internet connectivity is common, many hotels have upgraded their in room entertainment system to smart TVs, enabling guests to access many of the leading streaming services. In addition, WiFi is usually offered as a standard, enabling guests to also use their own devices for entertainment. It is clear that while guests were once satisfied with a limited selection of channels and pay TV content, they now demand more choices, with the ability to watch what they want, when they want it. They also want an easily accessible, high quality, personalized viewing experience. To meet these evolving demands, hotels are increasingly providing guests with a means of accessing on demand content, either through streaming services on the in room TV, or via a casting solution.
