I agree. I have spent way too much time in the last six weeks on flights. Most don't have in flight entertainment. Those that do are showing the same movie I have seen 10 times.
I even did not switch my ticket to an exit row so I would have free entertainment to Alaska in premium.
It even know which movies you have started so you can finish them on a later flight.
My one criticism is that they are not changed enough. There are a lot of options though and better than the overhead monitor films.

But that's interesting, I usually only opto for EC at OLCI if I can get the first row (but not on 737-9, or whichever new DL 737 had the crappy hard bulkhead). I'd probably still go with exit row if I already have it. But free premium streaming is not a bad EC add on.

I used my laptop and it works just fine. You just have to make sure flash and the gogo video plugin is installed in your web browser. If you're using IE, I think you have to use the x64/x32 browser and not the "RT" browser.

If you didn't have to input your name/seat number then you just watched the free movies/shows. There are additional charges for premium movies.
I was watching everything on my ilemming mini and it worked great.

Phone: Moto G Android : failed as expected
Tablet: Nexus 7 (old) : Android KrispyKreme : Looked like it would work but failed as movie was loading. Perhaps ART (I had this enabled) was an issue. Clearly this was some bug and it should have worked.
Notebook: As expected failed booting under either ChromeOS or Debian (Linux).
All of these devices have no problem streaming video from other sources.
So yeah, unless one is Apple or mainstream Windows laptops it is very iffy. And there are a hell of a lot of 'droid devices out there.
