Never had a problem with tv checkout and almost always use it. But do make sure you always check your charges in some way before you leave! Last trip I discovered a bar charge for almost $150 that was made on our first day in town - but turned out to have been made an hour before we even checked in (apparently by the previous room occupants). There was a 3 hr delay in posting it as a room charge, so it ended up on our bill rather than theirs. The hotel immediately removed it when I said it was incorrect, but had we not checked first I think it would have been much more difficult to rectify after the fact.
