Channel selection on the TV in the room was extremely poor. I wanted to watch the Ryder Cup on Friday afternoon on the USA channel but it was not on the VERY POOR selection in the room. When I called the front desk I was told the channel selection was caused by Direct TV. I told the front desk this was UNACCEPTABLE and I wanted a reduction on what I paid for the room. I was told that would not happen and if I didn't like the room I should check out. I couldn't do that until Saturday morning. I will be visiting OHIO U for the next 4 years on a regular basis but it won't be at this property.
