Ready to buy?  Make sure to use our Design Wizard so you will know what to get.  Below are links to Amazon "Idea Lists" which are a bunch of products put on a single list.  You will need to buy everything on each list that the design wizard recommends.  For example, if you need 4 TV Kits, you will need to buy everything on the TV Kit 4 times (on the Amazon page, click on each picture then click the "Add To Cart" button).  We have tested these products and verified they work together.  Don't forget to buy TVs from your own supplier.

  • Each Raspberry Pi acts as a wifi access point but their range is limited.  Add additional high powered wifi access so visitors can connect and watch your content over their mobile devices and in locations where TVs aren't near-by.  This does not enable your visitors to connect to the Internet.

~$100 USD

  • Adds a second 8 port switch over fiber (required for separate buildings or more than 8 TVs/APs)
