I like watching the syndicated Simpsons reruns, but often can't while in a hotel because it's on a channel their TV won't receive. There have been only a couple of times I've stayed at a hotel that had a "real" cable system, like what you'd have at home.
I agree with the lack of real cable, but I usually don't have trouble catching a Simpsons episode, no matter where I stay.

I have found in general the bigger the hotel the worse the tv lineup. Seems like they are stuck in 1983 when there were only 10 channels available.
