I never bother the hotel TV. It’s rarely worth the hassle. If my wife and I watch something, it’s on the MacBook.

    Why not a streaming stick? You can watch anything you have at home, or jellyfin and also everything you have at home.

    Well, my laptop bag has a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable in it. So that beats any streaming stick. Though the streaming stick doesn’t have to deal with overscan and other issues. It’s not a bad idea to add one to the tech bag. I’ll have to look into which ones let me do what I want.

    Yeah, I do my laptop just because I always have it, since I'm always doing work in whatever downtime there is, people showering, whatever. Remote is nice. I have been lazy enough to remote desktop from my phone to the laptop to change things so I didn't have to get up. It is incredibly inefficient.

    Do you have a recommendation? I've had a Fire stick in the past, and it was a POS (I had the entry model, paid like 20 for it). Roku has been enshittifying lately and so has Fire OS. I'd want to be able to cast to it from the MacBook or my iPhone, or my wife's Android phone. I do have an Apple TV box at home, but I've never taken it to a hotel room.
