Fuck my prior preparation day with the Chromecast with Google TV before the hotel checking…
I don’t travel too often so my Chromecast needed some tweaking (AKA updating system and apps etc), I like to take it as a travel companion and found out this shitty frame around the TV.
It is the first time it happened to me, I can see this being annoying for frequent travelers.
Marriott hotels have custom firmware on their TVs to prevent you from changing inputs.
Probably not custom. Many brands allow the tv to be put into hotel mode. If you have your own remote (or an IR blaster) then you can take them out of it.
That’s some fucking garbage.
Not to sound like I’m going full r/hailcorporate for Hilton but I’ve not seen them pulling shit like that yet.
I was at a Courtyard by Marriott and they had a fully accessible TV that allowed me to connect my SteamDeck and play from the bed. I will definitely stick with Courtyard for my business travel just for this alone.
Damn… The steam deck seems super awesome.
Excited for what Proton has done for game compatibility too.
I stayed at a Hilton in Vegas that had a TV with unchangeable inputs.
That’s lame… good to know but lame… I’d be bitching about it for sure as an HHonors member
