DIRECTV Advanced Entertainment Platform
Today’s guests expect Netflix, YouTube, live TV, personalized welcome screens, and the ability to stream from their own devices — all through one interface. AEP turns ordinary hotel TVs into an interactive entertainment experience.
What is DIRECTV AEP?
The DIRECTV Advanced Entertainment Platform is a next-generation hospitality entertainment solution that brings together:
- Live TV
- Streaming services
- Guest casting
- Hotel information
- Personalized welcome screens

Instead of simply providing television channels, AEP creates a complete digital guest experience — close to what travelers already enjoy at home.
