Zero-Latency Sports Across 17 Outdoor TVs
We replaced a fragmented setup of 17 residential streaming devices with a single commercial DIRECTV system, fiber backbone, and one-touch control — eliminating cross-screen latency and consolidating 17 bills into one.

What needed to change
- Seventeen outdoor TVs each ran their own streaming device, creating noticeable latency between screens — one TV could show a touchdown while another was still on the snap.
- The bar was paying 17 separate residential accounts to access NFL Sunday Ticket, driving up costs and management overhead.
- The fragmented setup made real-time sports viewing unreliable and complicated staff workflows during games.
How we solved it
Centralized Video Routing
Deployed a Media Tune 3000 with built-in matrix switching so every display draws from one centralized source with precise, per-screen control.
Fiber Backbone
Ran fiber from the Media Tune 3000 location to every screen, delivering high-bandwidth, low-latency transmission across the outdoor bar.
Commercial DIRECTV Consolidation
Replaced 17 residential streaming accounts with a single DIRECTV Business package — 23 channels, one bill, zero latency, full NFL Sunday Ticket included.
One-Touch Control
Deployed a control system that powers every TV on and off with a single touch and keeps every display in sync with the DIRECTV feed automatically.
DIRECTV Business App
Enabled in-app channel control so staff can change games during breaks without juggling 17 remotes or logging into individual accounts.
