DIRECTV Residential Experience. We've been talking about it for over a year. To date, over 1,000 hotels have installed DIRECTV receivers and DVRs into guest rooms, giving the best quality HD picture and hundreds of channels to each hotel guest. Yet, 97% of hotels still don't have DIRECTV Residential Experience (DRE) and it's not because they haven't wanted it.
DRE is easy enough to build into a new hotel, but what about existing hotels? While DIRECTV has worked to keep equipment prices down, there has been one hurdle that's been impossible to cross -- the hotel's existing wiring. Almost every hotel in existence is wired the same, and that wiring scheme isn't compatible with DRE. That means a whole-hotel rewire, with costs running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. That, as they say, is a lot of cheddar.
Or at least that hurdle was impossible to cross. New technologies from DIRECTV will make it possible for practically all hotels to enjoy DIRECTV programming, even on older wiring. Problem solved.
Let's take a look at the new DRE system and how it works.
