Best TV Setup for Your Vacation Rental

The TV is the first screen most guests turn on. Here’s how to set it up so it works for them — and for you.

Use an Android TV device you control

Plug an inexpensive Android TV stick or box into the TV so every room has the same, manageable setup.

Add a branded welcome screen

BetterSTR TV turns the TV’s home screen into your branded welcome page: greet guests by name, show a Wi-Fi QR code, your guidebook, local tips and one-tap streaming tiles.

Reset between guests

The best part for hosts: at checkout the launcher clears the previous guest’s streaming sign-ins and re-personalises the screen, so no logins linger. Everything is managed remotely from one dashboard.

BetterSTR TV branded home screen welcoming a guest by name with check-in details and quick-access tiles

Guests are greeted by name the moment the TV switches on — stay dates and quick tiles, no printed manual to hunt for.

BetterSTR TV Wi-Fi screen with a scannable QR code and one-tap casting

The Wi-Fi password becomes a QR code guests scan once — and they can cast from their phone right away.
