A dual channel communication system for detecting customer presence is provided. The system comprises a fixed component configured to receive a media content over a first channel, at least one mobile component configured to receive a targeted content based on a media related to the media content over a second channel, and a service provider that sends the media content and the targeted content. The fixed component detects the mobile component presence within proximity range using a short range wireless connection.
