As part of the new DVOD Partnership Plan, your hotel will be installed with a complete Interactive Digital Video-on-Demand System.  American Satellite Distributors maintains the equipment and software, provides blockbuster movies and entertainment, and supports movie sales with in-room and front desk collateral material as well as marketing and promotional programs - all contributing to increased movie revenues at your hotel.  The hotel purchases/leases the equipment and is given a much higher-than-industry-average revenue share.

American Satellite Distributors is constantly breaking new ground in the hotel PPV industry with innovative and creative marketing programs.  The hotels are supplied with eye-catching In-room Cards and Front Desk Posters that will raise awareness of the Pay-TV programming in the hotel.  Additionally, several innovative hotel staff and guest-focused marketing promotions are executed each year.  These promotions are designed to motivate the hotel staff to promote the pay TV services in the hotel and drive guest viewing.  Our unique marketing support will contribute to increased profitability of the DVOD system in your hotel.
