To think it's shocking that 4 star hotels don't have freeview channels

[Gaia81]

OK , shocking is maybe ott but you'd think they could stretch to freeview?

Stuck in a hotel room away from home and there's nothing worth watching.

Does it have free wifi? That's the dealbreaker for me.

Free WiFi but not fast.

One! biscuit ( I can't eat biscuits but they didn't know that!)

When I'm lucky enough to be in a hotel room by myself I spend most of the evening having a long bath which I top up frequently, I always take a good book and some treats to snack on. If work are paying I order in room service (it's the only time I think it's acceptable to pay £14.95 for a club sandwich with a side order of crisps)

The hotel doesn't get them free, though!

I'm mumsnetting from the bath

The hotel doesn't get electricity free either yonic, I still expect them to provide it.

Having never been in anything other than a Travelodge/ premier inn in this country until very recently the world of 4 star hotels has been a big disappointment. And despite the fact I'm not picking up the bill I can't help feeling ripped off!

I want Classic FM or Radio 3, and I want Radio 4. 3 and 4 are on Freeview.

I thought since the digital switchover all TV sets would have Freeview.

Yanbu! Most b&bs and all premier inn etc have freeview. I'd be disappointed too.

Well in all fairness hotels aren't for watching TV are they

So what does it have? I thought the analogue signal had been switched off.

Have just checked this as am very sad and yes all TV in the UK is now digital so if you're seeing any channels at all, it must have a digital box with Freeview or inbuilt Freeview. Probably just needs installing again.

HTH

5 standard channels, sky news and sky sports, and a channel that says it's sky 1 but actually displaying BBC 1
