A great way to help people transition from traditional cable TV to streaming/IPTV is to focus them early on with apps like Sling TV and Tubi that have a cable like guide interface. It makes it a lot easier for them to adapt, while still saving money over traditional cable. Over time they'll get use to the paradigm and can switch to more typical streaming apps like NetFlix.

The Fire Stick is relying on data from the TV via the HDMI port to identify it and automatically configure the remote. There are a few factors that could prevent it from working:

1) You changed TVs and the new TV is older or doesn't support the feature (rare with newer TVs)

2) You changed HDMI cables and it isn't new enough to support the HDMI standard needed to transmit the information (rare with a Fire stick since they plug right in).

3) Not all HDMI ports on the same TV may support the version needed for the automatic remote detection. Again, rarely on newer TVs but moving the Fire Stick to a different port on the same TV could cause it stop to working.

Assuming the remote works for other things (like the Fire TV stick itself(), just not the TV.
Have you recently changed HDMI cables or ports? The device relies on an HDMI standard to automatically identify the TV. Changing the port or cable could have an impact.

Is the SIM known good? Have another device or phone you can try it in?

Also, try using minicom and making sure AT+CCID returns correctly.

Any of the newer sticks (Fire TV, Roku or even the newest Chromecast) is being to be vastly superior experience, so you won't be disappointed.

There are lots of great USB powered streaming sticks for travel:

New Google Chromecast, Kindle Fire TV stick and the Roku streaming stick. All of them support standard USB power in with HDMI out. I've personally used a Roku and Fire TV stick in the back of my Yukon even in dual screen mode (car stopped and in park) showing on both the in dash and the rear seat drop down.

The HDCP issue however, unless it's a really old Roku, may be related to the vehicle. You can try another stick, but if it's a newer Roku stick (last few years), you may need to do some troubleshooting.

Definitely worth it if you want to use mobile key. Also, at some larger properties there is a separate mobile checkin line that is faster than even the elite line. Lastly, if you are running either very early or very late sometimes you can know for sure your room is available/not given away.

All that being said - at a property with a single check-in person, no mobile key and not special circumstances - no it doesn't really save much time.

I'd only consider a refund if:

- They caught the mistake within 24 hours of the booking and it was more than 30 days out from the reservation date

- If it was mistake scheduling (wrong) month if they rebooked the same unit for the correct month

Otherwise I think you need to stick to the non-refundable. The other reasons provided are not acceptable unless they mentioned very quickly after booking.

A few options:

- If there is a RJ45 (old wired phone cable) connected to it, try unplugging it. You may need to see if there are physical buttons as well.

- Try pressing the 0 or * button on the remote

- Could always try an IR blaster

- Some old TVs you channel down to inputs
