As I never watch ESPN -- and think the proliferation of ESPN channels is one of the Signs the End Is Near -- can't say I'd miss it, even on my frequent trips to Boston.

Matter of fact, I tend to indicate a hotel has a well-balanced cable lineup if it has some of the less common cable channels, such as Sci Fi.

But the hotel really needs to get its act together if it says it'll fix something and doesn't. Wonder if it's a problem with their satellite/cable provider and not the hotel itself.
