View the case study for additional details.
Watch TV is a television EPG designed for the hospitality industry. For an overview view the case study. The app includes a live preview, channel cards, upcoming programming, and the ability to view by genre or search programming.
The ability to view Genres allows the ability easily view groupings of channels based on additional meta information provided for each channel.
Genre content is a card-based layout of anything currently on in that genre. In the example, shows marked as classics are displayed.
Searching for content or channels can be done from the Search function. A partial search for 'esp' can bring up channels like ESPN (if available within the system).
Messaging for upcoming programming.
The ability for customers to "upgrade" and add-on channels during their stay was included as an option.
Adding a channel such as ESPN or others during the stay provides additional revenue for the hotel.
While errors and outages are rare, they can occur. A fallback layout offers minimal information which allows the TV to continue broadcasting and displaying basic channel lineups even if additional systems are down.
Like other Monscierge Apple TV apps, Watch TV supports dark mode.
