Hotel TV's often have all inputs blocked out actually. It's really stupid.

Interesting, that's not been my experience in various places around the world (not US), and I've often been able to access HDMI ports.

In the UK, they'll often put a plate in the wall with hdmi for easy connection, literally to make it easier for you to do.

I once looked up those TV codes and ended up factory resetting the TV just to jailbreak out of the hotel mode and use the Hdmi.
