I am not a TV person but when I am blessed with HDTV in my hotel room, I try not let it go to waste. I have found, though, that shows abroad are very limited. And even with on high quality flat screen TV, I just cannot stand to watch the same news on CNN or BBC (your typical hotel channel fare) over and over again.
So... for the past 3 months, I have been carrying with me a DVI cable to make sure that I can connect my laptop to the high-def TV.
I go online and open TV-Links and voilá, instant English movie and/or TV show. They always have the latest.
Of course, this solution is not perfect. Some sources are just way too slow to load or the quality is not that good. If the show I want to watch points to Todou.com then I just cancel it and look for other movies. The best connections I have found are those which points to Stage6 (DivX), Google Video and Daily Motion.
