Digital signage that keeps playing even when the internet drops
Weak internet at the branch? Frequent outages? Screens in a warehouse, factory or remote site? With TV Content the screen stores your videos and images on the device as soon as they download and keeps playing them if the connection drops — and when it's back, it pulls any updates by itself with nobody touching it.

How the screen keeps going without internet
- Upload videos and images and add them to a playlist from the dashboard.
- The screen downloads the content once and stores it on the device.
- If the internet drops or slows down, the screen keeps playing from stored content without stopping.
- As soon as the connection is back, the screen checks for changes and downloads them automatically.
- From the dashboard you can see whether each screen is online and when it last connected.
Built for sites with weak internet
Content stored on the device
Videos and images are cached on the screen after the first download, so playback doesn't use data each time.
Keeps playing offline
Playback doesn't stop or show an error when the network goes down.
Automatic sync when back online
No site visits — any playlist change reaches the screen as soon as it reconnects.
Low data usage
Each item is downloaded once — ideal for data SIMs and limited plans.
Older TVs too
On older smart TVs whose browser can't cache, the player keeps content in memory so playback survives a drop.
Self-recovering
Automatic restart if the player freezes, and the Google Play app relaunches the screen after a power cut.
