Game Day Control vs DirecTV Business Manager

DirecTV Business Manager (and related commercial portals) help venues manage receivers and packages through DirecTV. They are the carrier’s tools — not a full game-day operations dashboard with live scoreboards, Auto Scheduler timelines, or smart-TV pregame kiosks.

Game Day Control sits on top of DirecTV for Business: it reads your lineup, tunes boxes over the network (SHEF), schedules channel changes before kickoff, and drives LG, Samsung, Vizio, Fire TV, Google TV, and Roku screens from one phone. You still need DirecTV service; we do not replace the carrier.

Multi-TV price math

DirecTV Business Manager is part of your DirecTV commercial relationship — pricing is with your DirecTV rep. Game Day Control adds operator software at $19.99–$34.99 per location / month, independent of how many TVs hang on the wall. Compared with per-screen signage add-ons (~$10/screen), a 16-TV bar saves the gap between ~$160 and one flat GDC tier.

FAQ

Does Game Day Control replace digital signage tools?

It covers menus and promos on the Signage tier, but the core job is running game day: DirecTV tuning, pregame countdowns, and live scoreboards — things pure signage tools do not do.

How is pricing different from per-screen signage?

Game Day Control is flat per location ($19.99–$34.99/month). A 16-TV bar pays one location price here; per-screen signage at ~$10/screen is about $160/month for the same wall.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. Every new location gets a 14-day free trial of every feature with no credit card required at signup.
