Have you considered picking a few cool businesses and paying for them to use your product? If the customers really like it, they may start asking "hey how come you don't have Taiv like SoAndSo down the street?" That's probably easier for a restaurant or bar owner to understand than anything else you might do.

Also, random thought: a failure of your classifier is probably not the end of the world in most cases. But if all TVs running Taiv switch away simultaneously during a critical moment in a major sporting event like the Super Bowl then that might tank your business.

If you have a way of tuning the false positive/false negative parameters, you may want to tune them so that for certain highly watched content you're more likely to see an odd commercial than miss an important moment.
