Tips when buying
Always buy a hospitality TV with at least a 2 Year commercial warranty for peace of mind. I hear that Airwave even have their own repair service and offer extended warranties!Tim Worrall - Founder & Director

When refurbishing a guest-room, don’t forget to install a strong fixing plate behind the TV and also carefully decide on the position of the power plugs and aerial/data points at the planning stage.

Nowadays connectivity is a key element of the guest experience. Bear in mind that your customers are more than likely to be addicted to their devices and will want to watch content on the room's TV. Ask about hospitality certified Google Chromecast.

Don't want unsightly satellite dishes and aerials on your property? Go for a fibre optic solution where your antennae can be sited well away from view - great for countryside hotels.

Offering blockbuster Hollywood movies free of charge in room is a great way to set your hotel apart from the rest. Airwave also offers a range of BBC programming for customers overseas. My advice is to keep content packages small and carefully tailored to your guest mix.

Technical Team Tips
It's no longer enough to offer just high speed internet access, but rather unified communications - with or without the cable. Guests vote with their feet (and fingers) and this is reflected in many surveys, some of which place a good internet connection above breakfast and hot running water! Airwave is now able to offer end to end solutions from internet connections, captive portals / splash pages, managed access points systems, right through to IP telephony and end user support. Now is the time to make sure your guests can leave that amazing review while relaxing and watching Netflix!Ian Parsons- IT Manager
Wifi architecture is all about capacity; make sure your infrastructure can cope with today's fast-paced demands from domestic and commercial clients. HD streaming is the new email.

Customer Service Tips
It might sound simple, but if you are having problems with your TV, try turning it off and back on again and making sure the aerial is connected. Remember for LG TVs – the master power button is sometimes underneath! If you are still having problems – pick up the phone and give us a call.Stephanie Brown - Customer Services Assistant & Project Coordinator
If you have set your Samsung TV up incorrectly and can’t work out why - you can always factory reset by putting it in standby mode, then press info, menu, mute and then power. This will take you into the service menu where you'll be able to select options and factory reset the TV. This will then power down and come back on as if it was new out the box.
