What Is It
Using a residential TV subscription in a commercial setting — a restaurant, bar, gym, or hotel — is a federal copyright violation. PRO licensing fees from ASCAP, BMI, and the content providers can result in fines that dwarf years of commercial licensing costs. Every business showing TV to customers or employees needs a commercial license.
Commercial TV providers offer programming packages designed specifically for public viewing — sports, news, entertainment, and hospitality-specific content. DirecTV for Business, Dish Business, Cox Business TV, and IPTV providers like Lodgenet and Otrum all serve different property types with different content needs, hardware requirements, and pricing structures.
Fibi evaluates your property type, number of screens, content requirements (sports rights, local channels, international programming), and hardware situation, then compares commercial TV providers to find the right licensed solution at the best negotiated rate.
Why It Matters
In-room entertainment systems for hotels and extended-stay properties. We compare LodgeNet, Otrum, DirecTV Residential (bulk), and IPTV hospitality platforms — with integration for casting, interactive menus, and brand customization.
Sports rights are the primary driver for bar and restaurant TV — NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA League Pass, MLB Extra Innings, and UFC PPV. We compare providers on sports package availability, cost, and screen count for your specific location.
News, financial data, and background TV for lobbies, break rooms, and conference areas. We identify commercial packages with Bloomberg, CNBC, and local news bundles at appropriate commercial licensing.
Spanish-language programming, international news, and multilingual content packages for hotels, restaurants, and businesses serving diverse customer bases. Multiple language packages from DirecTV, Dish, and IPTV providers.
Internet Protocol TV delivers content over your existing network infrastructure — no satellite dish, no cable runs. Ideal for properties with existing managed WiFi. We compare commercial IPTV providers with licensing included.
We only source commercially licensed TV solutions. Every recommendation includes proper public performance licensing — protecting your business from PRO claims and content provider audits.
