A hotel-style welcome, on the screen guests already use
BetterSTR TV replaces the generic Android TV / Google TV home screen with your branded welcome page. Instead of a wall of ads, guests switch on the TV and are greeted by name, with their check-in details, your guidebook and a one-scan Wi-Fi code — the same instant, sorted feeling a hotel gives you.
It runs on the same guidebook you already use, and the core is free for life — no subscription, no credit card, exactly like the digital guides BetterSTR already gives you.
The free welcome screen — a personalised greeting, stay dates and quick tiles for everything guests need.
What’s free, forever
- A personalised welcome by name the moment guests switch the TV on
- Their check-in & check-out times and stay details, front and centre
- Your full guidebook on the big screen, browsable with the remote
- One-scan Wi-Fi — guests scan an on-screen QR to connect, no passwords to type
Premium extras — free to try for your first 3 months
On top of the free welcome screen, BetterSTR TV has a set of premium features that help you earn more and protect your rating. We turn them all on free for your first 3 months, so you can try everything on a real stay — then keep them for just $3 per device / month, or stay on the free welcome screen. No pressure either way.
- Grow your 5-star reviews. Near checkout the TV asks for a quick rating: happy guests (4–5★) are sent to your Google, TripAdvisor or Airbnb page to post publicly, while anyone less than thrilled is routed to a private feedback form — so problems reach you, not the internet.
- Turn idle TV time into marketing. When the room’s empty, the TV becomes a photo-frame screensaver that promotes book-direct offers, upsells like late check-out, and local experiences.
- Auto sign-out of streaming apps at check-out. One of hosts’ favourites — at checkout the launcher clears the previous guest’s Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube logins, so the next guest never lands in someone else’s account.
- In-room messaging. Pop a message straight onto the guest’s TV — a welcome, a house reminder, a checkout nudge — automatically, in the property’s local time.
Two easy ways to get it on your TV
Install it free from Google Play. If your property already has an Android TV / Google TV device — a built-in smart TV (TCL, Sony, Philips…) or a plug-in streaming stick — just install BetterSTR TV and sign in.
Or let us ship you a ready-to-go box. We now sell a compact Android 14 media box with BetterSTR TV pre-installed and configured — unbox it, plug into HDMI, join Wi-Fi, and the welcome screen is live.
