I was staying in a Holiday Inn Express last week (Yep, I know how to live the high life), and the room TV seemed to be an "almost" standard Samsung terrestrial Freeview receiver. Aside from some of the Installation menu options being greyed-out, it didn't seem to have any other "hotel" firmware customisations. This TV could receive all the Freeview muxes, including commercial.
When I connected my Humax HDR-2000T up to the aerial feed in the room and ran a scan, it was only able to find the public-service muxes, effectively giving me "freeview lite". I rescanned again, and again all the commercial muxes were missing.
Connected the aerial back up to the hotel room TV, and confirmed it could receive all the commercial channels.
What's different about the aerial feed in the hotel room that stops the Humax seeing all the muxes?
