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

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

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

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.

[–] Robin@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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 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.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Former hotel employee, can confirm.

[–] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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....

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You can probably get an IR blaster dongle for your phone too.

[–] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah...I severely miss my Samsung note 4

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

A little to the right... a little more to the right... anddddd... perfect.

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?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

of five years ago

Yeaaaah about that, it's 8 years old now

Ok, that is a compelling argument.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

OP in 60 seconds: "how do I hide a TV that fell off the wall"

Literally unwatchable.

[–] ekky@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You guys go on vacations just to watch TV?

Not to brag, but I can do that from home.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 2 days ago

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"

[–] shaman1093@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

You just described me

[–] miseducator@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago
[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago (13 children)

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

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a reason for everything. Sometimes that reason is "I don't give fuck."
