- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+47Imagine what would have happened if the title had been 'free porn at hotel'
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+41you would know, huh? :)
- pabster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Come on guys. I always found Marriott's porn to be of acceptable quality.
- redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Ba-dum-CHA!
- davidv, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28The major chains - Hilton, Westin and Marriott - all offer porn in their rooms, delivered to the hotel by one of two major distribution companies, LodgeNet or OnCommand Video.
*according to google - Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -15/+41how does porn degrades women? and if it degrades women, shouldn't it degrade men as well? Or is porn just a "vile" attempt by men to objectify females, because I'm sure females don't watch porn either.
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23"I'm sure this is illegal."
Thats what makes it fun! - Cronus6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Breaking the speed limit is also "illegal" so I guess you never do that either.
- manfrin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23I was in a marriot a month ago and there was some glitch in my TV so I saw EVERYTHING that other people were buying. Movies, etc. I even saw someone on that 'internet tv' thing, he was looking at his email.
- osuchasenuts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19I dont think I can go to a hotel without finding something illegal to do
- JimXugle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I digg because it's a hacker thing...
... but there are easier ways to get free pr0n on your laptop. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13What part of "free porn" don't you understand?
- HappyScrappy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Careful disconnecting the hotel room TV. They can tell if you do that (removal of 75 ohm termination).
- theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13i would have just had sex in the exercise room...
- resetpassword, on 10/12/2007, -9/+21been a better hack if it was for free movies, not porn.
even better would be internet, and he could download both movies and porn. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13You can't be a feminist and against porn and/or for prostitution being agasint the law. Either you believe that woman are smart and independant enough to make their own choises or not.
- cmajewski, on 10/12/2007, -8/+19"My Pinnacle box even allowed me to capture video and use my computer like a VCR."
He just had to replay the money shot, didn't he? - Colbs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I can't help but laugh at the quest that every man shares.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Would it be any more illegal than borrowing somebody's wifi?
- fillup07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Can you explain this more?
- cash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Major Malfunction must have had that room the night before. ; )
- nogami, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I agree, stealing Pr0n is bad... Pr0n should be free!
Fortunately there's always the net - lotsa free Pr0n here :P
N. - RobotDog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8geting tired of the many people who like to remind us that something is illegal.
Good post I recently brought my xbox to a hotel i had the missfortune of staying at for a week and they had those protectors on them and it stoped me in my tracks. Now i have 2 options. - Tweekster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7who honestly gives a ***** if it is illegal...
omg i feel so dirty and wrong for doing a hack like this, please officer lock me up
if it were illegal to bend paper clips straight you would probably bitch if someone showed how to do it. - seibed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/184/45/ has better techniques and descriptions, even pictures.
- heelix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'd rate taking the wall plate off as a clever hack. I know there were times where I wanted to pack in a PS2 to do a bit of gaming in the hotel room. The plastic things usually made it hard to connect my own console/dvd player to the hotel TV. Rather than mess with the TV, I could just plug my system into the back of the wall plate, thus using the hotel TV for my kit. (grin) Lord knows I spend enough time in a Marriott. Will look at it next week.

by Hammerman
Here’s a tip for those of you that stay in Marriot hotels. Marriot has, to my knowledge, installed a pay-per-view (PPV) system nationwide called “On Command”. This system is probably similar to many such systems used in hotels today. As far as I can tell, there is a radio frequency module attached to the TV that signals some master hotel unit to order movies and add charges to your hotel bill.
I spent several months in a Marriot and found a way to tap into free porn movies without paying a penny. It all started in the exercise room. Early one morning, I noticed that my favorite cable news channel had not been programmed into the wall mounted TV. No one was around, so I just accessed the menu function and scrolled up the “raw” channels so that I could add my channel. As I hit channels 40, 41, and 42, I found porn. No scrambling and no requests for billing authorization. Nervously, I just skipped past and added my channel. When back in my room, I found that those three channels were unavailable and the menu function was not available on the room TV.
This got me thinking. The exercise room TV was just a regular TV with no PPV box on the back, unlike my room TV. So, did this mean that I could hook up a regular TV in my room and see these channels? I pulled the dresser away from the wall to get a good look at the back of the TV. All of the cable connections had plastic protectors that made it impossible to disconnect. It looked like a single cable came out of the wall and then connected into the On Command PPV module. Out of this box it went into the back of the TV. I dove into my computer bag, pulled out a screw driver, and removed the wall plate from the hotel wall. Behind this place was a common cable splitter—with no plastic protectors. Bingo!
I now had a way to splice into the cable system before it got to my TV. At that point, all I had to do was hook a regular TV up and see if I could get those channels. Now, the maid would certainly sound the alarm if she found a second TV hooked up. Not an option. Instead, I ran down to the local electronics superstore and bought a device that would let me watch TV on my computer (Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe). Radio Shack provided a short cable, a 1-to-2 splitter, and some connectors. I figured, if it didn’t work, I could just return it all.
Then, I waited until until late at night to try my hack. If I accidently brought the hotel’s cable system down, I wanted to do it in the middle of the night when few viewers were watching and I could plead ignorance. I just added my Radio Shack splitter between their splitter and my TV’s cable. That created one new empty cable jack for my computer’s use. I then connected my new cable and hooked it up to my new Pinnacle box. I opened the software and presto, ABC was playing on my computer. The picture was great. I checked the TV and it was also functioning fine. Both my TV and computer got great pictures and I could watch different channels. Both my TV and Pinnacle box had remotes, so I could lie on the bed and watch two channels at one time.
But, what would I find at channels 40 thru 42? Well, non-stop porn actually. This is what I think is going on. When navigating the PPV menus on the TV, there are two options for the adult channels. First, you can order specific movies for about $10 each. Second, you can pay them $40 or $50 and have 24 hours of porn on your TV. I think what happens is, when you select the all-day option, they just open up channels 40 – 42 and let you see these movies that run in a long loop. Since you are not selecting individual titles, there is no need for their radio controlled system to start/stop any one movie.
Now, I was really paranoid that I was somehow racking up PPV charges. So, the next morning (after hiding my cables behind the dresser), I paid up my bill to date. Had there been a $50 charge for PPV, I’d have paid it and never tried that again. But, there was no charge. So, for the rest of my stay, I had free access to three channels of non-stop porn. My Pinnacle box even allowed me to capture video and use my computer like a VCR.
Now, I don’t know if every hotel system works like this, but if you’re at a Marriot hotel (Courtyard, Rennaisance, Fairfield, etc.) and they have the On Command system, it can be defeated. Good luck.

- tenchi71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Internet is complimentary at all the Marriot Corp. hotels, so no need to hack it.
- CompIsMyRx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8There's already a system for free porn. It's called The Internet.
- CoolHandLuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6This "hack" will work with any VOD system in any hotel (On Command, Lodgenet, HN). If you don't happen to have a TV card for your laptop you can remove the smart cable (flat satin looks like a phone cord) from the back of the TV and then use a universal remote to reprogram the TV (RCA was always the easiest to reprogram). You will be able to see any movies purchased by other guests as long as they are on your grid. You'll also see people browsing their folios and surfing the Internet. Nothing more disturbing than watching someone surf the Net for a male whore in Las Vegas.
The best and most fun way to "hack" the TV is to get your hands on a master remote. Every hotel has several of these in the maintenance shop but those doors are usually kept locked. If you are lucky enough to get a master remote, just unplug the smart cable and reprogram your set. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Marriots Hotels around the world for you digg pervs:
http://marriott.com/explore/default.mi?WT_Ref=mi_header - duke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Stop it with the "stealing" cr@p - you sound like a robot for the movie industry. Theft, by definition, REQUIRES that you deprive the owner of the thing you are stealing. Even if you watch it, they still have the original recording. If you own a taxicab and I stick a webcam on your car and watch as you drive around, I have NOT stolen your car, nor have I stolen a fare from you. You still possess it, you still use it, you still control it. Maybe someone passed a special law in your jurisdiction that makes this against the law, but it is NOT THEFT!!!!!

- scwuff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You an also just use a universal remote or any IR capable device that you can download a universal remote control program to swith the TVs into the "menu" mode and then you can add those particular channels. Normally, it is a block of 10 channels (40-49) that represent your room's node. The movies that are playing are dependent on what others in your node are watching.

- MITpianoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I doubt I'm the first to have discovered this, but I've been doing this for the past 8 years, since I figured out a simple universal remote could give you access to those "extra" channels. I realized that the TVs are simply modded with the RF box to transmit the 'order', but it's really the remotes that are "rigged". I was on a high school trip when I went out and bought a universal remote, set my TV to allow the channels, then charged my classmates $2 to add the channels for their rooms for the duration of our stay. I easily recovered the cost of the remote after a couple rooms. Of course, chaperones eventually figured out something was up with so many students wanting to stay in their hotel rooms. :) Ah, high school...
Since this initial discovery, I've investigated a bit. Everything from Motel 8 to the Mariott and Park Plaza seem to have variations on the same system. In some cases, you have to disconnect a phone-line cable from the back (Just remember to plug it back in before ever leaving the room, just in case, but this hasn't been a problem). In other cases, you have to remove a box that's in-line on the cable going into the TV. Those cable-lines sometimes have the plastic guard on them. I've found that needle-nosed pliers tend to work nicely on those.
Hotels with the 24-hour pr0n have the dedicated channels for it. The movies on-demand get broadcast to the higher channels as people order them, so while you can't order them yourself, you can leech off of others' orders. You can even watch them order them if you tune into one of those higher channels. - ZMorek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Totse just got dugg, and now I can't even try to find out where this damn Huff Raid cliche is coming from, the urban dictionary definition was lame and typo-ridden
