When I stay at a hotel that does not have a television on in the dining or breakfast area, I make a point of thanking them for the courtesy. They usually have one on in the lounge for people to check the weather, which is a perfectly reasonable service and also appreciated. I suspect this is may be the origin of the custom in the first place.
