"Hoteliers understand the power of HDTV for connecting, informing and entertaining their guests with a superior interactive television experience," says Scott E. Young, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer for LodgeNet. "But they also realize that the HDTV migration can be a challenge.

TV Compatibility Program

Another key component of EasyHD is the industry's first TV Compatibility Program, which identifies HD display models supporting LodgeNet interactive system functionality, as well as Pro:IdiomTM security for HD premium satellite and HD video on demand content.

"EasyHD supports every major aspect of a hotel's transition to future-facing, in-room interactive entertainment systems," concludes Young. "It's about seamlessly integrating HD technology and content for an experience that engages the guest but is still easy to use. And it's built on a solid foundation - on leveraging our experience, resources and relationships to bring real value to hoteliers as they position their properties to be competitive today and in the future."
