Predictable out-of-home advertising

Turn the TVs you already have into a revenue stream.

Schedule-based ad insertion for the screens you already run. A pod sits inline, plays a short silent ad on the schedule you control — to the second — then hands the TV straight back to your content.

The opportunity

Your screens are already on. They're just not working for you.

Most venues run a streaming box into a TV all day — scenic loops, music videos, the news. It looks fine, and it earns nothing. Astrove keeps that exact setup and adds a second job, on a schedule you control.


How it works

Live in an afternoon.

The pod is a small Raspberry Pi 5 with an HDMI capture board. We ship it ready to run.

01 — INSTALL

Plug it in.

The pod goes inline between your streaming box and your TV. One cable in, one cable out. Your setup is untouched.

02 — SCHEDULE

Set the schedule.

From your dashboard, decide when ads can run and how often. The pod stores it locally and follows it to the second.

$
03 — EARN

Get paid.

Each play, the screen cuts to the ad and returns to your content. You earn a published share, with proof you can check.

The signature moment

A scheduled switch, frame by frame.

Scroll to advance the clock. At 7:00:00 the pod cuts to the ad, plays it, and returns.

An example 15-second spot — cut at 7:00:00, back at 7:00:15. No black flash, no app to babysit; the schedule lives on the device.

The difference

No guesswork. No surprises.

Some systems watch your screen with computer vision and guess when a commercial break is happening. Astrove executes an exact schedule instead.

Astrove · schedule-based

You set the times. The pod hits them exactly.

  • You own the schedule, down to the second
  • Frame-perfect cut, identical every time
  • Predictable, verifiable delivery for advertisers
  • The same play every time — nothing left to a guess
Computer-vision systems

A model guesses when a break is happening.

  • Guesses when a break starts
  • Ads land in the wrong place when it's wrong
  • Unpredictable timing, hard to bill against
  • Timing drifts when the guess is wrong
Two ways to run

Earn the standard share — or more, with optional measurement.

Standard — 20% of revenue, every play.

Free pod, free install, $0/month. Ads run on the schedule you set; between them it's your content, untouched. No camera — nothing about your room is measured.

Standard + Measurement — 25% of revenue, every play (+5%).

Everything in Standard, plus an opt-in camera that measures your audience — heads in the room, a rough age & gender split, and (soon) how many actually looked. You earn more, get your own analytics, and rank higher with advertisers. Aggregate only — no recording, no one identified.

Measurement is always your choice. Timing never depends on it — your ads run on your schedule either way.


The platform

Everything runs from one quiet dashboard.

Scheduler

Decide exactly when ads can play.

Block out your busy hours, cap the frequency, and let the pod follow it to the second.

Resilience

Offline-first by design.

The schedule lives on the device. Drop the Wi-Fi and the cuts still land.

The hardware

A small pod that does one job perfectly.

HDMI in — from your box
HDMI out — to your TV

Inline, invisible, inevitable.

One cable from your streaming box goes in. One cable to your TV goes out. The pod sits between them and waits for the schedule, then takes the screen for a few seconds and gives it right back.

Net-new, brand-safe, scheduled inventory.

A captive, unhurried audience in cafés, gyms and lounges — bought on a fixed schedule, reported play-by-play. Screens that were never ad space before.

We're signing our first venues now.

Astrove is in its first rollout ahead of a Q3 2026 launch. We'd rather earn yours than borrow someone else's logo — so we're keeping the first group small.

  • Best terms, locked for life. Keep our most favorable share as long as you stay.
  • Hands-on setup. We install it, map your schedule, and stay close.
  • A say in the roadmap. You shape what we build next.
  • Be the first story. Your results become the case study.
Reliability & trust

Built to be boring in the best way.

Edge-scheduled

Schedules sync from Cloudflare-backed infrastructure, then run locally on the device.

Offline-resilient

If the connection drops, the pod keeps following the last schedule it was given.

Measurement is optional

Standard installs have no camera. Add opt-in measurement and earn more — aggregate audience numbers, never recorded, never identifying anyone. Timing always stays on your schedule.

Cancel anytime

No contract, no lock-in. Unencrypted sources only. Remove it whenever you like.

A note from the founder

We chose the boring, predictable path on purpose. A schedule you control beats a model that guesses — for your customers, and for the advertisers paying for the spot. Predictable beats clever.
