   Maybe buy a One-for-All remote control, make sure you have the coding   
   instructions with you, and see if you can control the hotel's TV set.   
   Maybe, maybe not. Most ones that I have experienced have very limited   
   functionality with the provided remote controls. Some have a   
   limited 'Guest' mode that can only be unlocked with the correct   
   service remote control device.   
      
   But anything is worth a try!   
      
   Gone are the days of simply plugging your X-Box into the back of the   
   set. I once unplugged the cable, for some reason unrelated, and the   
   'phone rang, with the front desk staff asking me why the TV was   
   unplugged, they thought I was stealing it. This was back in 1991, in   
   Kansas City.
