What does "in-room movies" mean?
a system which allows you to watch films, play gaymes, use Internet (on demand) and maybe call a taxi/ambulans/bellhop etc
Am I right?

Thanks in advance!

Well you've got the general idea but you are taking it too far. In-room movies means just that. It means that there is a movie channel on the TV. It doesn't mean that you'll also have games, internet, telephone.

Thank you for your reply Nona. So what is the difference between In-room movies and Cable TV?

Cable TV - this should have a good selection of channels but normally doesn't include any movie channels.

In-room movies - normally you have to pay an additional charge to watch the movies. They are on 'blocked' channels that only unlock when you pay a fee.
