I’ve been traveling quite a bit recently, and I tell you what — there’s nothing worse than having to deal with hotel TVs. Will they let me cast from my phone to the screen? Will they have an accessible HDMI port? Will they even have any channels tuned in that I can zone out in front of?
It’s a lottery, and though features like AirPlay and Chromecast support were supposed to make beaming shows and movies to compatible TVs simple, you’re still at the mercy of the hotel Wi-Fi even if the support is there.
