Has anyone actually made this work with a hotel TV?

Probably not simply because this needs to work with an MHL enabled HDMI port. Most older TVs just are HDMI in. Unless the hotel has updated their TVs in year 2013 it's best to bring along the old roku puck. Hope this helps.

MHL ports were nonexistent on TV's before 2012. Only recently have they come down to $200 for 32" screen. It is doubtful that most hotel TVs would have this feature. Bestbuy's house brand, Insignia, seems to be making the widest use of the MHL port.

I haven't tried it with a hotel TV, but it works great with my 55" Insignia LED I have sitting up at my house. Hope this helps.

It would depend on the hotel has both Wifi and HDTVs with a MHL port. MHL looks like USB ports but are only on some TVs and the Roku Streaming Stick will not work with a standard USB port. Apparently this is needed for the two devices to control each other.

It is not a dumb question. I have used the cable (or a series of conversion dongles and cables) for a similar function at the office and it worked. The key is that you need a DVI-to-DP converter, and the cable does act as one of these.

If your TV has a plug that accepts it, yes you can. I've plugged it into my mom's TV old portable, also once in a hotel. Just remember it isn't the large stereo jack, it's the small ones used on mp3 players, cell phones, etc.

No this works the other way around. Look for an HDMI - AV converter...(make sure it has DHCP support)

I have never taken my MDR515H [MDR535H] out of my apartment. I am not familiar with hotel services. If they have conventional cable then you can route it through the MDR. You would need to take a couple of cables with you - a coaxial to connect from the MDR to the TV and an HDMI cable for an HD output to the TV.

I believe it only works with cable cards. You can always double check at tivo.com

It never worked for me, it's highly dependent on your tv brand and samsung hd tvs seem to be an issue with this.

Have had good luck with iPhone and Apple TV ....so assume it would work well,without actually trying it

from what im hearing the only thing that works are the samsung cords, which are 50 bucks. maybe have not tried it. i know you can use it as a remote for the tv

How you would get it to work would depend on which type of computer you have. Also, make sure your Tv is on the "HDMI" setting.

I had no luck. I bought it and got no signal. Even did a continuity test and seems as if there is no connection. Good luck but I think this is a novelty. No actual way to convert technology.

I really don't know - it does work with my flat screen HD TV but it's not a "smart TV"

I can't answer that with absolute certainty but I can say I travel a lot for business and it has worked on all the hotel TVs I've tried. The only time I've had issues is if the hotel had weak wifi or were not in an area I could use my 4g hotspot.
