I've tried over and over and over and decided to just use a 3-year old amzon fir-stick and it works great. Do I prefer Roku, yes (and all over my home is Roku)! But at a hotel it ain't worth continuing wasting time when you can get one for $25.
I gave up also and bought a Fire stick for use when traveling. While I generally like the Roku interface, I grew tired of banging my head against the wall while Roku ignored all the comments and made believe the issue didn’t exist.
