Everything a game-day operation needs
Live scores, 36 leagues
NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, WNBA — plus 26 soccer competitions including the FIFA World Cup, Champions League, and every top European league. Auto-refreshing every 30 seconds.
One-click TV tuning
Every game card knows its DirecTV channel — including local affiliates and games where the listed network is wrong — and tunes any box from the browser.
Scheduled channel changes
“Tune 5 minutes before kickoff.” Queue changes from a game card or the guide; they fire automatically and show on a per-TV timeline.
TV Guide built in
A full DirecTV programming grid — filter by sports, search by team, and tune or schedule straight from a listing.
Permanent display walls
Jumbotron scoreboards, rotating box scores, score marquees, and CSV tickers — each a permanent URL you retarget remotely without touching the TV.
Media playlists
Upload menus, promos, and event flyers; build playlists; cast them to any screen between games.
Raspberry Pi kiosks
Pair a Pi with one command. It caches media locally, survives internet outages with fallback playlists, and reports health via heartbeat.
Runs from any device
Phone, tablet, or the office computer — the same dashboard, sized for a bartender holding an iPad mid-rush.
Multi-location ready
Run several venues from one login: switch locations from the header, manage each site’s details and subscription in the Corporate Dashboard, and give each location its own on-site user.
The guide, weaponized
From listings to the right channel in one click
The built-in TV Guide shows the full DirecTV lineup on a timeline — local affiliates and regional sports included, matched to your zip code. Sports, movie, and news filters plus team search cut through 600 channels.
Click a channel to tune any box instantly, or click a future program to schedule the change — with a 5-minute head start by default.
Set it before the rush
Channel changes that happen on time, every time
The Schedule page shows every TV, what it’s tuned to, what’s airing on it, and every queued change on a timeline — 206 → 219 at 4:55 PM, labeled with the game it’s for.
Queue tonight’s lineup during the afternoon lull; the changes fire themselves while your staff pours drinks. Manual tunes never disturb what’s scheduled.
Walls that read from the bar
Scoreboards designed for across-the-room
Box score walls page through linescore, team stats, scoring plays, and player tables at full size — big type that rotates through the stats instead of shrinking them.
Jumbotrons show live score, clock, and situation at glance distance. Marquees scroll every game in one strip. Portrait TVs? Flip a display to portrait from the panel.
Hardware that runs itself
A Pi turns any TV into a managed screen
One install command pairs a Raspberry Pi to your account. Assign it a display from the web and it boots straight into it — auto-restarting, auto-updating what it shows, phoning home with storage and status.
Media playlists cache to local disk, so menus and promos keep playing even when the internet doesn’t.
Who it’s for
Built for the way hospitality runs a room
Sports bars, restaurants, breweries, and multi-location groups — same dashboard, tuned to how each of them actually works.

Common questions
How do I control all the TVs in my bar from one place?+
Game Day Control connects to your DirecTV receivers over your existing network. Every TV gets a name in one dashboard, and staff change any screen — or all of them — from a phone, tablet, or computer. No remotes, no ladders, no walking the floor during a rush.
Does Game Day Control work with DirecTV for Business?+
Yes. It is built for DirecTV receivers and speaks their native network control interface: HR44/HR54 Genies, HR20-HR24 DVRs, H21-H25 receivers, and Genie Minis through their Genie server. No IR blasters or extra hardware in the signal path.
Can I schedule TV channel changes before a game starts?+
Yes. Pick any upcoming game and schedule the tune with an offset — five minutes before air by default — and the TVs change themselves at that time, even if nobody is at the dashboard.
Can I run digital signage and TV channels from the same system?+
Yes. The same account plays image and video playlists on signage screens, drives live jumbotron and box-score displays, and controls TV channels — so venues do not need a separate signage product.
What does it cost?+
Control is $19.99 per month, Control plus Game Display is $24.99, and the full plan with Digital Signage is $29.99 per month. Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial.
