Yes, of course, there are buttons on the side, but those don't do anything unless you are also in the right "mode," and the remotes are hotel remotes as opposed to the remotes for the TVs. So, here's what to do.

1. Unplug the Ethernet cable to the TV. That means you won't be able to use the hotel remote or get hotel functions/channels. (Don't forget to be a good hotel citizen and plug it back in before you leave.

2. Plug in your hdmi cable into the ports on the back of the TV. (Often, the biggest hassle.)

3. Use the side buttons on the TV to go to menu>inputs>hdmi

4. For what it's worth, I carry with me now a small "universal" programmable remote so I don't need to mess with the small buttons on the side of the TV, or, if those buttons aren't accessible.

Works like a charm about 95% of the time, and I don't have to watch the very limited stuff that Hyatt normally serves up.

Cheers
Thanks for this! I'll try it when I'm back in Cbus tomorrow night and report back.
