Tv too high
And off-center.
And Among Us
ඞ
You guys go on vacations just to watch TV?
Not to brag, but I can do that from home.
Have you ever heard of "i want to rest a little the late evening but i am not sleepy enough so i'il watch TV"
Literally unwatchable.
You just described me

Fuck. Did not see it at first. Screw you
I don't see it...
Ok, that is a compelling argument.
Something something div centre.
Are you in a cruise ship? That’s what this reminds me of.
You won’t watch it much anyway. They just play the same 4 movies on repeat during the entire trip
Maybe, it's on a hinged wall mount and someone just put it back wrong.
Oh no, your vacation to go watch TV in a hotel room is ruined..
Sus
There's a reason for everything. Sometimes that reason is "I don't give fuck."
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 audio, 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.
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.
Former hotel employee, can confirm.
I need to ask for this. Every hotel I go to they have the brightness cranked - and my wife loves watching TV to sleep, which keeps me awake because I can't tweak any settings. Makes me want to buy a universal just to put in my luggage....
You can probably get an IR blaster dongle for your phone too.
Yeah...I severely miss my Samsung note 4
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.
Ah, yes. Classic case of "90's doom scrolling."
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.
Cheap and portable Google TV stick with a Bluetooth speaker
We haven't had cable in 12 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.
A little to the right... a little more to the right... anddddd... perfect.
