A small shop with a window that sells
TVpilot is digital signage software for boutiques, beauty counters, cafes and shop chains in Central, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and across Hong Kong. Turn the screen in your window into your best salesperson with brand videos, your Instagram posts and your reviews, in English, Chinese or both. Your first screen is free forever.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
Space is tight, and a printed poster in the window is out of date the day after it goes up.
One screen in the window plays a whole campaign: brand videos, this week's offer and new arrivals, each slide with its own dates. Change it from the web dashboard and the window follows.
You post new arrivals on Instagram every day, and none of it reaches the people walking past.
Enter your Instagram handle and the screen shows your latest posts as a live social wall, refreshed by itself, in every plan.
When you close early for a typhoon, customers only find out at the door.
Start the Emergency alert with the Temporarily closed message: it fills every screen in every shop within seconds and ends by itself after the time you choose. Premium, included in Pro and Business.

Frequently asked questions
Can my screens show Chinese and English?
Yes, as you design them. Make bilingual slides in Canva or as images, videos or PDFs and they play exactly as you made them. You can also alternate a Chinese slide and an English slide in one playlist.
Is the dashboard available in Chinese?
Yes, in Simplified Chinese. The dashboard is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Chinese (Simplified) and Thai, chosen per user in Settings. Traditional Chinese is not available. Emails and invoices from TVpilot are in English.
Will YouTube show ads in my window?
YouTube decides whether a video carries ads; your own ad-free videos play clean. Vimeo links always play without ads, and with sound off and loop on there are no overlays at all.
Which player fits behind a window screen?
A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 is small and the most reliable: one install command, it restarts its own player within seconds and switches the TV on and off through HDMI-CEC. An Android TV box with Fully Kiosk Browser, a Chromecast with Google TV or a smart TV browser also works.
Where is my data stored?
In the EU. TVpilot is a company from the Netherlands and does not host data in Hong Kong. If your company has rules about where data is kept, check them before you start.
How am I billed from Hong Kong?
Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount to Hong Kong dollars. Free is 1 screen forever without a card, Starter €5 per month for 3 screens, Pro €29 for 10 and Business €99 for 25. Prices exclude VAT.
