It's still better than being out in the terminal in a lot of situations (and therefore worth the money), but it's certainly not the shining experience you've made it out to be.

To stay on topic, though, the new rule definitely made the IAH E club more comfortable. Closed captioning was definitely on, so those who wanted to watch Sports Shouting could get their fix.
Quiet??

I was in the IAH Term A PC yesterday for right at 3 hours. Yes, the sound on both bar TVs was off and the CC was on both. However, the battery in the emergency exit door's alarm was dying and every 90 seconds a loud screech was emitted from the alarm. PC staff indicated they had called and reported the problem when they opened that morning and called again while Mrs controller1 and I were there due to additional complaints from members. However, as of 11:00 a.m. no one with the authority to replace the battery had done so.

Quiet?? It sometimes takes more than no sounds on bar TVs to make a PC quiet.
