I have TIVO To Go for the laptop, and have had that set up since 2005. On the way to London this week I watched an episode of Lost, Saturday Night Live, Sunday's GPS (with Fareed Zakaria), and a TV movie. They passed out the entertainment units on both SFO-JFK and JFK-LHR and I turned them down.

Happy that AA has powerports. I know some FTers I've met don't have this option with their carrier, and my soon-to-be-disposed of 12 inch Dell is down to one hour battery life, so I need that powerport.

I also have a portable XM radio I bring along, mostly used at the start or end of flights.
