Well, *this* is certainly a new low.

This is on a TV. In a *hotel*.

Good grief.

@rl_dane @rl_dane No way to watch as guest?

I’ve been to some that have Netflix and claim they sign you out upon check-out…my entire response was just “yeah right” and I ventured straight for the regular cable TV.

There's a guest mode, which I'm using. It let's you browse and search, but you can't actually view anything without logging in.

And I get it, that hotel has a lot of users behind one NATted IP, probably.

But it's a forking TEE VEE!!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@rl_dane @rl_dane I was about to say they should be able to recognize it’s a hotel TV and whitelist the IP range but then immediately realize “oh someone will catch on and do something bad with that”…

Yeah guest mode being just search makes it pointless to have in the first place. Bad setup all around lol
