If the forced commercials are that bad I can tell you AA does not do that the way you are describing. They might do a commercial once before you watch on on-demand movie but not during or while navigating other content.

Yea, but at least DL has IFE on some (most) 737s in their fleet at all.

Not a personal attack here but I would like to know how many who are up in arms have flown this yet and had someone full recline and watch a show. I had just that. I did attempt to fold it out to see better and found it did not tilt. You can still see the movie. It would be MUCH better with fold out but you can still watch. "Can not be seen" is taking this to far. Poor design is more spot on. The screens are stunning btw and very responsive.

What a waste to have stunning screens that can't tilt!

It's bad enough that seats are now designed for four-year-olds and little people, but must the same be true for AVOD equipment where saving space isn't an issue?

Hi HongKonger...I know this is an unpopular subject but just wanted to provide some facts about onboard advertising. Ads are played on climb out and descent, and are attached to the beginning of video content (which you can fast forward through). A limited number of ads will display while a customer is browsing the GUI. Ads never pop up or interrupt while viewing a movie.

Off topic, but on the comments about commercials I was getting those while in BE a few weeks ago coming back from NRT. When I would navigate through the movie list and flight map, every now and then a commercial window would pop up with no way to skip or close it. Extremely annoying.
Regarding the 757 mods, I wonder if the mid cabin lav and galley are being removed in order to squeeze in a few more rows of Y and get the sandwich count up to 199.

Well, at least we can blast our own music into our ears while climbing and descending now.

It would be nice if we could program the AVOD so that it doesn't go silent for all of the long announcements in multiple languages that I don't understand.

I just wanted to thank Chris for his active engagement here in the hopes that he isn't beaten down by the relentless negativity coming from some on this thread. Folks want engagement. You got engagement. Top-notch engagement. Unfortunately, some folks seem to think engagement = beat up on DL. Frankly, Chris has given this board more than it deserves on the engagement front.
Chris, please know that some of us are fully aware that there are compromises that have to be made when configuring aircraft, choosing AVOD systems, etc., and that some of those compromises may not break exactly as we would always like.
