Travelogue use a distributed system

None of the special functions on the remote control work and I was
peed-off
about not being able to turn on the subs.

I was on my 8th week there before I discovered that the same channel +
subs
is available on a completely different channel number

If you mean distributed aerial system then that would be same as the TL we
stayed at last year we had a 32" Freeview TV in the room.


No I meant one where they distributed the TV internally themselves (on "new"
channle numbers) from a central "freeview" box (sorry if I used the wrong
term)

I've stayed in 3 these past months and they are all the same (including one
that's only been open as long as I have stayed in it) so I assumed that it
was normal for them

Obviously not if you stayed in one that had a freeview receiver in the room

It was something else before a TL, Inn Keepers Lodge maybe.

If you visit a hotel that has a welcome screen - places like
Ramada Jarvis and many in the Accor group - the TV is often fed
over IP. Believe it or not the giveaway is that the connection to
the rear of the TV is CAT5!
