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

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

        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.

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

          Of course you can connect to home, that’s just using the internet.

          I don’t think I have been in one with such bad WiFi I couldn’t stream in years.

          If a hotel has bad wifi, and really most do (just not that bad) I would be black listing them immediately.
