Recording cable shows at resorts

[Jenny1225]

We head to Orlando tomorrow - Yeah! We have a TV/football game issue though. My DH really wants to see a game on ESPN tomorrow night and we have dinner plans right in the middle of the game. (In all fairness to him, it is a huge game for his school and his family. He's willing to miss it but I would love for him to be able to see it.) I have a laptop with Windows Media Center and a TV tuner so I can plug a coaxial cable into my laptop and receive and record TV channels on my PC. Has anyone done this with the cable at the resorts? Do the rooms have cable boxes or are they a coaxial cable direct into the TV?

Coax into the tv.
