From the spa programme to the bar's Instagram
TVpilot is digital signage software for spa hotels, bars, cafes and clinics in Budapest, Debrecen, Szeged and across Hungary. Screens show the Hungarian content you make, next to English or German for visitors, and keep themselves up to date from your calendar, your Instagram and your Google reviews. Your first screen is free forever, and your data stays in the EU.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
The spa's sauna sessions and classes change every day, and the printed sheet by the pool does not.
Paste the iCal link of the calendar you already plan in (Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar) and the Calendar widget shows today's programme as an agenda, day or week view. Change the calendar and the screen follows.
Your bar posts every night on Instagram, but nobody in the room sees it.
Enter your Instagram handle, or connect a Facebook login once, and the screen shows your latest posts as a live social wall that refreshes by itself.
A clinic that welcomes patients from abroad needs its screens in two or three languages.
Make each slide in Hungarian, English or German and let them rotate, or give each language its own hours. Add your Google reviews so new patients see what others say.
Real screens, ready to use
Every screen below is a live plugin or a design you make in minutes. Mix them in one playlist, or give each screen its own.
