Fewer and fewer hotels seem to do it anymore Jerry. I have a suspicion that the ones that do are those that either are still in a multi-year contract or making a significant revenue stream from porno movies.

Increasingly you turn on the TV and it is just a TV. I've also encountered some that have the additional features like bill review etc. but which offer no movies etc.
