3. Campus TV OPTIONS • To RECEIVE Content: • Wire: Coax or fiber (from local CATV Company or Internet) - Pay for programming $$$ • Dish: DirecTV or Dish, direct or 3rd party - Pay for programming $$$ • Antenna (Digital) - FREE regional broadcast channels: https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps

6. Providing Television Content to the Warrington College of Business (WCB) Thomas (Trey) Herb University of Florida Warrington College of Business

7. The Dilemma • Central Campus Cable was going away. • Cruddy System • Did not affect students greatly at WCB • 4 Buildings were losing content

8. The Victims • Four Buildings had different needs • Bryan (Administration): Dean’s Office and 2 special purpose rooms • Sports • Hough (Graduate School): all common areas had TV and used it • Sports and Business • Stuzin (Departments, Centers, Offices): One Location, but Critical • Retail Research Center • They want it all • Heavener (Undergrad): New Building. Were not using what they had • Meh Nice to have

9. The Search • Looking for an IPTV provider for small scale commercial • Really want to leverage IP infrastructure • Sling, Hulu, Whatever do not provide commercial products • Apogee and other hotel/dorm providers were too expensive and complex (50K+) • Cable Company • Local (Cox) Company wanted 15K just to get the cable to one building • Would completely leverage existing COAX • Satellite • Reasonable monthly cost ($90+receivers) • Largely leverages existing coax • Additional infrastructure costs less that cable (<5K)

10. And the Winner is • Satellite (mostly) • Hough, Stuzin, Bryan all went with satellite • HD Antenna • Heavener went with broadcast • Cost for install too much (>10K) • Enough for emergencies • Leverages HDBaseT infrastructure

11. And the Loser is • Pitfalls and fun facts • Finding installer • Permissions for putting stuff on buildings • Finding contractor to install big COAX and Conduit • Up dating and programing existing control systems • Billing accounts. Each building has its own account • Great if the customer never realizes its happening
