Considering the fact that these are probably going to be flying on a bunch of legacy Frontier routes where the IFE is an expectation
I believe the current plan is not to install TVs in the E90. The reason being that their records show very little uptake on the TV on routes under 2 hours meaning they don't expect it to be profitable on the E90.
I do agree that they need to make it more obvious to the customer what to expect on the plane. When they have expectation of TV and don't get it obviously they are disappointed. If the website made it more clear what IFE you will get on a flight they could probably better manage those expectations.
Personally I'll take Wifi over LiveTV any day. With Hulu you can watch shows on demand instead of being stuck with mid-day cable programming.
