Anyone bring Chromecast on trips and successfully get it to work on hotel TV?

It's illegal. Section 12b of the code. Look it up.

Just PPV the block of porn. It's really the best value for your dollar.

No, but the Amazon Fire and Firestick will work when you have to enter a username and password in order to login to a network.

I always bring my own tv to get around this obstacle.

I replied to your thread on the tech board

ETA:

1. Plug in the Chromecast and complete the setup steps far enough along to see the MAC address (or if you have super sharp eyes, read it off the back of the dongle).

2. Turn the Chromecast off.

3. Use the appropriate tool or settings menu on your device to change the MAC address of your device to the MAC address of the Chromecast.

4. Open a web browser and complete the authentication process.

5. Change your device’s MAC address back to it’s original address. (Rebooting may be required.)

6. Authenticate the device with its original MAC address.
7. Plug the Chromecast back in.

Easier move is to purchase the hdmi cord that connects from a laptop to the TV and stream content through your laptop to the TV.
