Cut the cord without losing the familiar TV experience.
With the AirTV Player, clients have a single interface for watching Sling TV, Netflix, YouTube, local channels, and more. AirTV is the only streaming platform that integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming service. Just add an AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna to get local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in HD, without a monthly bill. The new Cloud DVR feature means that shows can be tagged for recording and viewed at a later time.
The content-rich home screen makes it easy to find what you want to watch. And now that all content is consolidated in one place customers can say goodbye to juggling multiple remotes—the AirTV remote will control the AirTV Player, TV, and sound system. With voice integration, the AirTV remote also makes it easy to find the entertainment homeowners are looking for or have questions answered by Google using voice.
Customers will never lose our factory remote again - using our handy remote finder feature. Homeowners using a third-party automation platform will appreciate the availability of discrete IR commands, so their integrator can incorporate AirTV Player into a larger system.
Because AirTV Player is supported by Android TV, you also get instant access to a world of content and apps through Google Play. The AirTV Player is capable of streaming 4K video, supports Dolby audio and is compatible with most Bluetooth devices such as headphones, headsets, sound bars and game controllers. So, download your favorite music streaming service and play it throughout the house or on personal headphones. Or download your favorite available video games and play on the same device you use to watch TV. Onboard ethernet or fast, built-in wifi and processor mean navigation is super quick without any lag.
The AirTV Player was built to bring back the familiar TV experience to streaming services, bridging the gap between traditional payTV platforms of the past with the future. Seamlessly delivering the content users want on one platform, AirTV eliminates the hassle, confusion, and the cost of multiple devices.
The AirTV Player, AirTV Adapter, and Over-The-Air antenna not only deliver local channels to the living room, but fully integrates them directly into the SlingTV guide making navigation quick and convenient.
Obtaining local channels over the air keeps households up to date with their local news and sports, but also does so for free, leveraging free OTA HD (and soon to be 4K with ATSC 3,0) channels for life.
Don’t bother with long-term contracts. With one-touch access to Netflix and the Google Play Store, endless options present themselves insuring that users never run out of things to watch. AirTV understands that having all your OTT services, local programming, and apps in one easy to use interface is a great start; but it should not be complicated to get there either. With the AirTV users can utilize one simple remote to power on their TV, sound system, and the AirTV player all while simultaneously switching the TV to the correct input. This level of system integration brings content to the user more efficiently. The AirTV remote operates through Bluetooth, giving the owner the freedom to place the AirTV Player where they choose.
Hiding equipment can help maintain a clean look in any entertainment set-up. Bluetooth capability also enables exciting features such as playing video games with Bluetooth controllers, or allowing the night owl to not disturb anyone by pairing Bluetooth headphones. With access to all the content you love, at affordable prices, the AirTV Player is a terrific addition to any home.
AirTV player is a very important product for the custom integration community for three key reasons.
First, it offers a combination of live TV plus video streaming that is not available elsewhere. Many Americans want to ditch their monthly cable bill in favor of a streaming video option. And while streaming video is wonderful, many clients still want access to the morning weather forecast, the evening news or a football game on Sunday. And while CBS, ESPN and Disney content can be had using dedicated apps, clients prefer to discover this content inside a single user experience, without switching inputs. Only AirTV player from DISH gives customers the most popular video streaming apps plus live and local TV stations, and bite-sized network channel packages on a single platform.
Second, discrete IR commands allow integrators to control AirTV player using a professionally installed control platform, such as Savant, Control4, Crestron or RTI. Any integrator that has ever tried to control an OEM cable box will appreciate the importance of discrete power commands. Without discrete commands, control is unreliable at best. And when customers can’t watch TV, integrators lose money (on service calls) and credibility (you said the system was reliable!).
Finally, DISH recognizes that integrators need to make a profit on as many components of the entertainment system as possible. Last year, custom integrators sold thousands of streaming video players. Most of these units were sold with little or no profit for the integrator. Integrators provide a valuable service to customers. Video sources may change, but the need make a profit does not. DISH recognizes the importance of the CI Community and empowers authorized dealers to make a profit on every unit sold.
