Only two? Wow. I didn't know how lucky I was last night, EWR-SEA. Did not catch the ship number of the 737-900 flying CO1881, but I was very impressed with the service. Gate-to-gate access, excellent picture quality with no breakup at all until the last stages of descent into SEA when we made a couple of angled swoops to line up... i saw the whole Red Sox-Tigers game and it was well worth the $6. Much better quality and uptime than the B6 system.
Only downsides: no ABC or Comedy Central.
The new service was unannounced at the gate and we didn't know what we were in for until we got to the jetway and saw the DirecTV sticker on the plane by the door.
