Ships and hotels
Where Satcenter installs interactive TV
Cargo vessels and offshore
For crews who spend months on board, television from home matters. We combine a marine TVRO antenna with IP channels in the crew languages, and add a ship information channel for notices, drills and the mess menu. Existing coax cabling can usually be reused.
Cruise ships, ferries and yachts
Passengers expect the same TV experience as at home: a branded welcome screen, a TV guide, excursion and dining information and movies in every cabin. See our hospitality IPTV solutions for larger passenger vessels.
Hotels and accommodation
The same platform works in hotels, apartments and accommodation units on land: satellite and IP channels, a welcome message with the guest name, hotel information and restaurant menus, distributed over coax, IPTV or both.
From design to 24/7 support
Use the TV system configurator to choose the TV source and distribution, or ask our engineers for a survey. Satcenter delivers the headend, configures the screens, installs and commissions the system and supports it afterwards. The TV system is part of our wider maritime entertainment services.
FAQ
Interactive TV: frequently asked questions
Yes. The welcome screen, menu and information pages use your vessel or hotel branding, and the content is changed centrally from one management interface.
Not always. Smart TVs can run the interactive menu directly, and existing televisions can be connected with a small set-top box. Older coax-only screens can keep receiving live channels as DVB-C or DVB-T.
Live channels from a TVRO antenna use no internet data. Menus and information are served from the local headend on board. Only IP channels and remote updates use the vessel connection.
Yes. Satcenter installs and supports TV and IPTV systems on ships and in hotels and accommodation, with the same headend, interactive menu and remote monitoring.
