Sky today unveils Sky Select – a new way for hoteliers to give their guests stunning HD entertainment in every room. Powered by the Sky Bright Box, a sophisticated method to deliver HD quality content to multiple TVs in a hotel from a centralised location. It completes Sky’s HD portfolio, bringing quality, choice and flexibility for hotels in room and in bar.
The new service, Sky Select is:
• The first and only centralised distribution system available in the UK that allows hoteliers
to tailor a selection of Sky HD channels to distribute in HD across their hotel.
• Ideally suited to hotels with more than 50 rooms, giving hoteliers the flexibility of changing
their channels without any additional hardware or installation costs.
• Offers a welcome channel, seamlessly integrating into the on-screen guide for a better
guest experience.
Whether it’s the drama of the Premier League on Sky Sports, a highly-anticipated US series like
Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic, or box-office hits like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on Sky Cinema,
Sky Select gives hoteliers an unrivalled choice of Sky’s HD channels for all of their hotel rooms while
also incorporating their guests’ favourite Freeview and foreign channels. In addition, hoteliers have
the flexibility to easily swap existing channels or add more at any time.
The Sky Bright Box has been designed as a dedicated commercial solution to enhance the TV
entertainment experience hotels offer their guests. With an integrated installation, hoteliers can
incorporate a tailored welcome channel to greet their guests, alongside Sky’s familiar EPG with
channel synopsis information for an outstanding guest experience. Compatible with both coaxial
and IP network cabling and offering 24/7 remote monitoring, the Sky Bright Box delivers the
flexibility to suit the needs of every hotel.
Damian Saunders, Strategy & Commercial Director at Sky Business, comments: “With guests
demanding and expecting more from their in-room TV viewing, it is important for hoteliers to offer an
entertainment experience that matches what their guests enjoy in their own homes. Sky Select provides the opportunity for hotels to exceed guests’ expectations, by delivering a breadth of unmissable content in stunning high definition, with the flexibility to suit their business needs”.
“At Sky we are committed to helping hotels create the best possible experiences for their guests with
innovative new solutions and services, and Sky Select is one more way for them to do that”.
Sky Select offers four channel packages to choose from, covering sports, movies, entertainment,
music, news and documentaries all in stunning HD – giving hotel guests an unrivalled choice. To
