Map the room
Talk through screens, inputs, programming priorities, and the moments creating the most friction.
Central Indiana / Venue TV Operations
Remote-Free TV
Run the room.
Not the remotes.
A practical control layer for bars, restaurants, and multi-TV venues. Prepare the lineup, tune supported paths, and approve guest requests without leaving the floor.
Founder-led / local support / limited scope
The shift
The room should make sense before service gets busy.
The hard part is not owning several TVs. It is knowing what is on each screen, what can change, and who decides when the room changes.
01
Remote friction is operational friction.
A missing remote or wrong input becomes a staff interruption at exactly the wrong moment.
02
Names create a shared operating view.
Patio 01 is easier to act on than “the one by the window.”
03
Control stays human.
Requests arrive for approval. The operator stays in charge.
Built for the room you already run
Technology should disappear into service.
From the bar to the dining room, the goal is not more screens. It is a venue that feels considered when the room gets full.
How it works
A system for the way a venue actually moves.
No fantasy of hands-off operations. Just a clear scope, supported paths, and a person close enough to help when it matters.
Name & stage
Identify target TVs and verify supported paths in the existing network and device environment.
Schedule & tune
Prepare a lineup, make changes, and keep a central view of screens in scope.
Refine the pilot
Stay close, adjust the workflow, and decide together what earns expansion.
Remote-free TV, in practice
Less chasing.
More command.
Scheduled control
Plan what designated screens should show before a rush, then adjust the lineup as the room changes.
Supported tuning
Navigate supported streaming, over-the-air, and input paths that fit your existing setup.
Availability depends on devices, apps, subscriptions, and venue setup.
Guest requests
Give patrons a clear way to ask. Let the operator decide what happens next.
Human-backed pilots
Founder-led and local. A pilot starts with a real room, a limited scope, and direct support—not an anonymous install ticket.
A sensible first step
Start with a pilot, not a promise you cannot test.
A venue pilot is the fastest way to see whether Thompson TV fits your actual operation. We define target screens and success criteria before trying to grow the scope.
- 01Choose a practical group of screens.
- 02Confirm network, device, and content realities.
- 03Test the scheduling and owner workflow together.
- 04Review what worked before expanding.
Secondary offering
Home sports TV beta
For Central Indiana sports fans seeking a clearer plan for subscriptions, devices, OTA options, and a multi-TV setup. Early consultation, not a finished consumer platform.
Venue pilot inquiry
