�Hoteliers understand the power of HDTV for connecting, informing and entertaining their guests with a superior interactive television experience,� says Scott E. Young, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer for LodgeNet. �But they also realize that the HDTV migration can be a challenge. It can be expensive and confusing, and mistakes are time-consuming and costly. LodgeNet is here to help them streamline and simplify the process from beginning to end.� 

Turn-Key Solution

LodgeNet�s EasyHD program is an end-to-end solution, providing world-class expertise and reliable service to hoteliers migrating to HDTV. Hardware selection, project management, installation and ongoing maintenance are all components of the EasyHD solution. Additional features include:

• Tailoring and marketing opportunities that enable hoteliers to uniquely identify their HD solution. 
• Post-installation service and support from a 24x7 help desk and a dedicated North American field service network to facilitate manageable, productive migration to HDTV.

• Financing options available.

Another key component of EasyHD is the industry�s first TV Compatibility Program, which identifies HD display models supporting LodgeNet interactive system functionality, as well as Pro:IdiomTM security for HD premium satellite and HD video on demand content. More than 40 HD compatible models from five leading manufacturers have been designated as LodgeNet HD compatible since the program was launched in 2006.

Connectivity Solution

EasyHD also helps hoteliers accommodate the growing number of guests who bring portable media devices with them. As part of its EasyHD solution LodgeNet offers the LodgeNet LaunchPadTM, an easy-to-use connectivity panel that transforms the hotel room into a personal technology hub capable of emulating the at-home experience.

�EasyHD supports every major aspect of a hotel�s transition to future-facing, in-room interactive entertainment systems,� concludes Young. �It�s about seamlessly integrating HD technology and content for an experience that engages the guest but is still easy to use. And it�s built on a solid foundation � on leveraging our experience, resources and relationships to bring real value to hoteliers as they position their properties to be competitive today and in the future.�
