🏈 Sports Bars
TV Control Software for Sports Bars
A Saturday with twelve games and sixteen TVs turns your best bartender into an IT department. Somebody is standing on a chair with a remote while a table asks why their game is not on — and the answer is always the same: nobody remembers which receiver feeds which screen.
Game Day Control puts every TV in your bar on one screen. See what each receiver is tuned to right now, tap the game you want, and the TV changes — from behind the bar, from your phone, or queued the night before.
What this fixes
Nobody can find the right remote
Every receiver is addressable from one dashboard, so channel changes happen from a phone or tablet instead of a ladder and a lost remote.
Games start while you are slammed
Schedule the change before kickoff. Pick the game, choose the TVs, and Game Day Control tunes them five minutes early — even during a rush.
Regulars ask for games you cannot find
A real DirecTV channel guide with search, including package channels like NFL Sunday Ticket and MLB Extra Innings, so out-of-market games are one tap away.
Dead screens between games
Turn any TV into a live jumbotron, rotating box score, or scrolling score ticker — the whole slate at a glance, without another subscription.

Frequently asked questions
How do I control multiple TVs in a sports bar?+
Game Day Control connects to your DirecTV receivers over your existing network and gives every TV a name in one dashboard. From a phone, tablet, or computer you can change any TV, group of TVs, or all of them at once — no remotes, no ladders, no walking the floor.
Does it work with the DirecTV receivers I already have?+
Yes. Networked DirecTV receivers — HR44/HR54 Genies, HR24 DVRs, H25 receivers and Genie Minis — work with the app once they are on your network and external device access is turned on. Our Help section walks through the setup step by step.
Can I schedule channel changes for game times?+
Yes. Pick any upcoming game and schedule the tune with an offset — five minutes before air by default — and the TVs change automatically at that time, whether or not anyone is watching the dashboard.
How much does sports bar TV control software cost?+
Plans start at $19.99 per month for full TV control and scheduling. Adding live game displays is $24.99, and the full plan with digital signage is $29.99 per month. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial.
