Is this cheating?
Channel 41 doesn’t work! So I pulled up HLN on YouTube TV on my laptop. Is this disingenuous or acceptable considering the circumstances?

This is no different than a brave passenger landing a plane with the assistance of air traffic control after a pilot has a heart attack.

Thank you! There has been some pounding on the walls. I can’t stand it. Thankfully I’m leaving in the morning.

Let the front desk know about the noise. No reason to lose sleep just because other people suck.

No, it’s not cheating. It’s making the best of a bad situation. I’m truly sorry your hotel couldn’t access HLN. My condolences.

you do realize youtube already has forensic files, right?

Yea, but there’s something about not being able to do that on typical hotel cable tv makes it feel inorganic.

Totally get it. I listen on YouTube at work and try to pick episodes at random, but if there were a stream like there is for Unsolved Mysteries, it'd feel more organic. Something about the lack of choice. Just pure chance.

you can shuffle youtube playlists so that can help randomize it

Yes, but only if you watch it on cable.

Is HLN showing the "enhanced with AI" versions? Because if so, I'd rather just randomize the episodes on YouTube. 😅

How would I know? They do something to upscale it?

u/AlolanFroslass 16d ago
You'll know. They use it to make the really old camera footage or pictures look better, but they end up looking absolutely awful. It's...woof. lmao.

How were the wings and cheese sticks?

Both were decent! It’s always nice to have a good restaurant in the hotel with HLN.
