If memory serves (and this was a number of months back), the room literature
ADVERTISED that 'feature' of going to 88 to review bill, order breakfast,
etc.  It was an interactive channel.  To get out, you hit any other channel
and it would clear and return to 'regularly scheduled programming'.

As for PAY8,99, that is a new one to me.  I'll have to try it next time...
