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.
There 5 Aircraft flying around with the system.

From the News Release in Jan of 2008 seems there missing a channel from what they said in the news release, missing MTV. Maybbe they will add it later?
