Satellite TV in the conference room?

In the past few years, our conference rooms have become technology centers. No longer just a place with a table and a whiteboard, they’re now full-featured suites ready to help people connect remotely and in person. Technology has invaded the conference room, bringing smart boards, 360-degree conference cameras, and large TVs. But now it’s time to ask yourself, is there a place for satellite TV in the conference room?

It’s not such a strange idea. 

Chances are if you have a large screen in the conference room — and don’t we all now? — it’s a television, not just a computer monitor. It’s very hard to find a screen larger than 40″ that isn’t actually a television. So you have capabilities there you’re not using. Right now that TV might be used for remote attendees, or it might be there so Phil in Marketing can show off the latest sales figures. But should you use it for live TV as well?

It may not make sense, but watching TV can be an excellent way to enhance productivity. If you’re in business, you can all cooperate in learning more about the industry you’re in and the forces that shape it. It’s good for team-building exercises, too. And of course, when severe weather or life-changing global events happen, your management team can all learn about it together rather than retreating to individual computers or personal devices.

A smart idea for forward-thinking companies

Satellite TV in the boardroom is a smart idea for forward-thinking companies and it costs less than you would expect. In many cases you’ll pay the same or even less than residential customers pay and you’ll get the same high-quality program and 99.9% reliability that you’ll get from satellite TV. Installation is included and you can add satellite TV to your lunchroom or warehouse at the same time. Giving your employees access to TV during their break times cuts down on their use of personal devices, which keeps them more accessible to you and makes sure your internet bandwidth isn’t clogged. A TV for the warehouse can make people more willing to work weekends, because they won’t miss their favorite sporting events. You can even pipe the sound through your office PA system!
