We put in smart TVs instead of paying for dish or cable which is expensive in my area. We got Vizio smart TVs from Walmart and I love them because they are extremely user friendly and have all the requested apps like Netflix, Hulu, amazon etc. As a Netflix subscriber you can have 4 “profiles” for the same price so I have my profile, my kids profile, and a rental profile that I leave logged into the TVs so they can use my Netflix but don’t have my password or login. I like Roku too but I find they have to be reset a lot. I’m not sure if it’s influenced my booking rate or not, but I think people usually subscribe to a couple apps but not others, so the Hulu people might like that they can watch something different for a change.
I think at the bare minimum you should invest in an HDMI cord if the only way to watch TV is to hook up a laptop. I stayed at an Airbnb that advertised fast internet for streaming but when we showed up, he said we would have to plug in our laptops so it would’ve been nice if he had mentioned that in the listing since I don’t just travel with random cords.
