TV Guide Channel — What's on TV right now?

How do residents and family members know what is on TV in your retirement home? The newspaper tv listings are too small to read. The channel numbers are different than what is used by the local cable company due to elimination of filler and junk channels.

Think of your own viewing habits at home. How often to you go to the on-screen TV guide channel to see "what's on"? Now think of ther residents at your retirement home or assisted living center. Don't they deserve that same luxury to see not only what commercial satellite channels are available, but also the name of the television program, title of the movie, etc...

The reason hotels and most private cable systems do not offer a TV guide listings channel is due to expense or having to endure commercial sponsors inundating residents with ads. Not so with SeniorTV– we've developed our own TV guide listings channel just for seniors–and it is the absolute lowest cost in the entire wholesale cable and commerical satellite industry! Designed for seniors with a slower scrolling speed and easy–to–read lettering.

This product is an analog on-screen TV guide that is customized to a particular property. It is ideal for any commercial satellite headend or analog wholesale cable lineup. No satellite connection is required for the TV guide listings, just a high speed Internet connection. Just send a copy of the channel line-up and we create the customized guide showing your exact channel listing with program description. Unique channels such as "front door camera", "community information channel" may be listed. Listings are accurate and based on the time zone for the property.

Screen area shows TV guide listings only and is customizable with private cable operator logo or retirement home property name and logo in the top corner. The full screen version area is nearly all TV guide listings.

This model adds a text bar to the bottom of the TV guide channel screen with 3 rotating information panels:

1.) Current conditions
2.) Today's forecast
3.) Tomorrow's forecast

May be used as information channel/community channel and/or to sell advertisements.
