I'm reporting from the Hilton Garden Inn tonight. It's in Philadelphia's Center City area, across from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The room's TV is a 32" LG LCD HDTV. While it looks to have the dreaded LodgeNet remote, the cable isn't really that bad. Here's what I'm seeing here:

I couldn't understand the duplication of some channels in both SD and HD. Shouldn't they dump the standard definition one if the HD one is present? Missing from this lineup were NBC Sportschannel, Comcast SportsNet, and the market's affiliates of ION (WPPX-TV), TEL (WWSI-TV), UNI (WUVP-TV) the secondary PBS (WLVT-TV and WYBE-TV) and Reading's station (WTVE-TV).
