    I would never use a hotel TV by choice. When it happens, it’s because there’s literally nothing else to do in that moment. But even then, it’s a struggle of shit quality, the most fucked up position in the room imagineable, unintelligible sound quality, and a bombardment of unskippale advertising.

    Really, the only thing entertaining is seeing if any previous guests stayed logged into Netflix, then finding weird stuff to add to their ‘Continue Watching’ category.

      We haven’t had cable in 10 years. Whenever we go to a hotel we specifically look for low quality reality tv with lots of ads. It’s so ridiculous that it becomes funny and entertaining, for about 20 minutes that is.

        I used to watch FoxNews for shits just to see the wild shit they show, but recently the hotel I stay at most frequently no longer gets that channel. it was really disappointing, now I have to hope to catch criminal minds reruns or a random movie

        I like finding movies on hotel cable. Many of the movies I saw when young weren’t from going to the theater, but rather from walking through the living room after someone else put something on, or by flipping through the channels and landing on something that captured my interest. It’s hard to get that experience nowadays. I’m more likely to get analysis paralysis from seeing all the films out there and end up rewatching the entirety of Futurama for the 200th time instead.

      I only use them if they have an HDMI port so I can play whatever I want on it.

        And nowadays they let you cast to them (sometimes). But even ones that were locked I’ve gone and just asked for the unlocked remote and maintenance has always provided. The hotel brand cares; the workers do not give a fuck.

      We would come in from the beach or bars drunk, high, and overexcited, but knowing we had to sleep or the next day would be ruined. So we’d turn on a movie to fall asleep to. Unfortunately the last time, it was Addams Family Values, and my ass stayed up extra late watching the whole thing.

      I just plug in my AppleTV or Switch or laptop…

      the issue is usually that you can’t adjust the display settings for a more suitable picture

      Last hotel I was in had streaming apps available. I could just log into my own account.

      Honestly, good point. OP, could you be satisfied with this explanation? Maybe the interior designer did this as an homage to their favorite game of five years ago?

    Try pushing on it. Half the time the mounts are basically rails so you don’t have to center the tv on the studs.

    I never bother the hotel TV. It’s rarely worth the hassle. If my wife and I watch something, it’s on the MacBook.

      It’s still THERE, every morning when you wake up.

      Why not a streaming stick? You can watch anything you have at home, or jellyfin and also everything you have at home.

      • W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Because not every hotel lets you connect to “home” or has internet good enough for a streaming service.

        Well, my laptop bag has a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable in it. So that beats any streaming stick. Though the streaming stick doesn’t have to deal with overscan and other issues. It’s not a bad idea to add one to the tech bag. I’ll have to look into which ones let me do what I want.

      The problem is you cannot unwatch this

    Oh no, your vacation to go watch TV in a hotel room is ruined…

    Maybe, it’s on a hinged wall mount and someone just put it back wrong.

    source
  • NuanceDemon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Depending on the type of mount this might just slide to the left easily.

    There’s a reason for everything. Sometimes that reason is “I don’t give fuck.”

    • Malyca@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I’m betting the reason here is stud location
