Pay TV Channel Integration
Complete Pay TV integration for commercial environments — premium content with secure distribution and efficient subscription management for hotels, apartments, and commercial facilities.
What We Deliver
Satworks is an authorised integrator for the region's leading Pay TV providers — OSN, beIN Sports, SAWA Entertainment, and MBC Group. We handle the full commercial licensing, technical integration, signal encryption, and ongoing subscription management so your guests or residents enjoy premium content without any operational burden on your team. Our systems are designed for multi-room, multi-property deployments with centralised billing.
Core Capabilities
Premium Channel Lineup
Full integration with OSN (movies, series, kids), beIN Sports (live sports), SAWA Entertainment (Arabic content), and MBC Group channels. One headend, all providers.
Subscription & Billing Management
Centralised subscription portal for managing room-level or unit-level Pay TV access. Automated billing integration with your PMS or property management system.
Signal Encryption & DRM
Conditional Access Modules (CAM) and Digital Rights Management ensure content is protected and only accessible to authorised viewers — fully compliant with provider licensing terms.
Multi-Room Distribution
Single subscription point distributes to hundreds of rooms via IP or SMATV infrastructure. No per-room decoder required — reducing hardware cost and maintenance overhead.
Commercial Licensing Support
We manage the commercial licensing process with each Pay TV provider on your behalf, ensuring your property is fully compliant with broadcast regulations.
Guest Experience Integration
Integrate Pay TV channels into your IPTV middleware for a seamless EPG experience. Guests browse all channels — free-to-air and premium — in one unified guide.
Case Studies
Dubai, UAE
Luxury Serviced Apartments — Jumeirah
85
Premium Channels
Challenge
120-unit serviced apartment complex needed premium Arabic and sports content but lacked a compliant commercial licensing arrangement with providers.
Solution
Satworks negotiated commercial agreements with OSN and beIN Sports, installed a centralised CAM headend, and integrated channels into the existing IPTV system. Billing linked to the property management system.
Result
All 120 units receive 85 premium channels. Subscription revenue recovered integration cost within 8 months.
Muscat, Oman
Business Hotel — Muscat
94%
Fewer Maintenance Calls
Challenge
Hotel was using individual set-top boxes per room for beIN Sports, creating high maintenance costs and frequent guest complaints about decoder failures.
Solution
Replaced 180 individual decoders with a single centralised headend delivering beIN Sports and OSN to all rooms via IP. Integrated with hotel PMS for automated check-in/check-out channel access.
Result
Maintenance calls related to TV reduced by 94%. Annual hardware replacement cost eliminated.
