We don't stay in hotels for the TV, but when we have downtime we want to be able to watch with a minimum of interruptions/failures. Our last night we ended up using our tablet to watch uninterrupted TV. Also, ever hear of inside stairwells? They are really nice in sub-zero temperatures, especially with luggage or shopping to take to the third floor."
