DisplayCircle turns the television you already own into a managed sign, and puts it on a network of screens that pays you back. PUT A SCREEN ON THE NETWORK Open displaycircle.co.uk/tv on any TV with a browser (or the DisplayCircle app on Apple TV), scan the code with your phone, and the screen starts playing your loop. No box, no installer, no contract. YOUR OWN CONTENT, FOR FREE β€’ Posters and videos, uploaded from your phone or made in the AI studio from a single sentence. β€’ A QR menu: write it once, and it runs as a board on the television and as a page on the customer's phone β€” the same rows, so nothing drifts. β€’ Live cards: the clock, the weather for your postcode, London transport status, UK announcements, on-this-day, markets. β€’ Your own notices β€” today's special, the Wi-Fi password, an event. β€’ Time, day and weather scheduling for every item in the loop. IT PAYS YOU BACK Open a share of your loop to the network and businesses on your street pay to appear on your screen. You approve every advert, you set the price, you can pause or remove any ad at any time. 70% of every verified play is yours; credits are 10p in and 10p out, and earnings can be withdrawn to a UK bank account. PROOF OF DISPLAY Advertisers are charged only for plays the screen can prove: a signed play token, a plausible duration and a visible heartbeat inside the play window. No impressions, no estimates. ADVERTISE ON OTHER SCREENS Browse photographed venues on the map, describe your business and let the smart search shortlist the rooms where your customers actually are, then run a campaign, rent a screen by the day, or swap adverts with a neighbouring venue. CREDITS Credits are bought in packs (also available in the app as in-app purchases) or earned by showing other members' adverts. One credit is 10p of advertising. DisplayCircle is built in the UK for pubs, cafΓ©s, restaurants, gyms, salons, clinics, hotels, shops and offices β€” anywhere with a television and customers who look at it.
