We've covered a number of
newer hotel chains that actually recognize the importance of delivering HDTV programming and HD VOD to guests, but for the vast majority of places still living in decades past, there's
Gadling's latest how-to guide. If you're sick and tired of checking into hotels with ancient TVs and lackluster programming, there actually are some options. For one, it's always smart to carry a bit of media on a PMP and bring along every connection cable you can imagine. Furthermore, those with Slingboxen and other place-shifting
solutions can usually pipe their content from laptop to TV with the right connections. If you're looking to get schooled in the ways of good travel, hit that read link and open wide.

Most hotels I go to have TVs specifically made for hotels, which means no inputs at all.

Exactly.
Its much easier to just buy a pocket projector and be done with it.
Why carry all that other stuff? Cut down on all those cables and mess and save lots of grief.

I was just at the Mirage in Vegas and used the beautiful wall inputs to play music and video from my PSP on the Phillips LCD. It was so slick and easy to do...kudos to the Mirage..Q

Or you could buy a PCH with an internal hard drive and literally have your entire collection of HD movies with you every where you go.
