I'm just curious. How much do bars and restaurants pay for DirecTV?
For example, say a sports bar wants to have all the Sunday Ticket games running on multiple screens throughout their dining room.
Do they still charge per television? Perhaps per tuned channel, with each potentially mirrored to multiple screens? Is there a factor for the rated guest capacity of the room?
I would imagine the Sunday Ticket on a commercial account in a situation like this would be outrageously more expensive than a home account. Same for the main package.
It's based on fire code occupancy, if the televisions are in a public area, as well as per receiver. If the TVs are in a private area it's almost the same as a home account.
And yes, it is quite a bit more expensive for bars and restaurants to have Sunday Ticket, but it's a proven moneymaker.
If you're that curious go to their website. On top of their home page you'll see Businesses. Click on that and the business account page will come up with the information you're interested in.

You're correct; I can easily see where my post was misunderstood. Thank you for correcting it. What I meant to say was, if you are in a business where the TVs are in a public area, it is based on fire code occupancy. If your business does not have such a public area (for example in an office setting) the price is quite similar to residential pricing.
100% positive (had the HD tags beside programming in the EPG also), they actually use a matrix switch as well. Could it be they had old HD receivers maybe H20 model which I thought might not have been updated to the HD GUI but not sure?
True, the H20 did not get the GUI. I've seen places with receivers racked, so figured those would be the 21-pro but obviously not everyone does it that way.

Sports PPV pricing is for the most part is based on FCO (Fire Code Occupancy). I believe some of the lower interest sports PPV's (TNA Wrestling, etc) uses EVO.
Yes its private. I know the Bar is the Largest in PA ! it is 4 sided and is 75x30 Dam we can sit alot of guys around it. Its strictly a Mens club no woman allowed.
