I work for a Starwood hotel. It’s really this simple. Pick up your room phone, Dial “O” ask the person who answers to send up maintenance and have them set up you monitor or video game. Saves you the cost of the remote or breaking your back to get to the back of the TV. Oh, Removing the cable box to get free movies is illegal. First from Lodgenet, who will prosecute and the Innkeeper. It’s called defrauding an innkeeper.

Nearly all of whatever you say happens to be astonishingly accurate and it makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This particular article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject matter goes. However at this time there is actually one point I am not too comfortable with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the central idea of your position, allow me see just what the rest of the subscribers have to say.Well done.

Thanks a ton for your post. I’d prefer to say that the tariff of car insurance differs from one coverage to another, due to the fact there are so many different facets which contribute to the overall cost. By way of example, the model and make of the automobile will have an enormous bearing on the charge. A reliable ancient family car will have a more economical premium when compared to a flashy fancy car.

Brought new laptop, HDMI & male-to-male pin stereo plug.
Hotel had HDTV w/ coax & ethernet connected to equipment and only POWER button worked.
DISCONNECT ONLY THE ETHERNET FROM THE HDTV resulting in necessary INPUT (for HDMI/DVI) and VOLUME buttons on HDTV becoming functional. Again: “NO HACKING NOR NEED FOR UNIVERSAL REMOTE”.
Heck of a time for laptop to recognize HDTV, but after plugging/unplugging HDMI cable five times, then the 2nd Display was identified, set to 1080p and extended from the main display.

idiot said,

“Just yank the power cable of the stupid box they have hooked up right out of the wall. After doing this at a Doubletree I was able to use the input selects again and take advantage of the HDMI and VGA inputs in their fancy pants LG flatscreen.”

-THANK YOU Idiot.
This worked great on an ONCOMMAND at a Quality Inn.

I stayed at a doubletree and guess what? I didnt need to do anything other then plug rca cables from the tv to a dvd player and it found the input right away. My friend and I spent so many hours watching movies that we didnt need to pay those outrageous fee’s for renting movies.

Stuck in a hotel with hotel Tv. Traveling with my three year old. Tried hooking up the portable dvd player to the tv and everything is disabled. So frustrating. I called down stairs and was told that the “engineer” was on lunch. He never showed up. Called again this morning and was told that she would try to find someone. Two hours later still watching hotel tv. At least they have nick Jr.

I just used Vennin’s trick. It worked a charm, on the LG 37LC50C TV in my hotel room, I even only had to unplug the coax cable.
