I had the unfortunate necessitation to fly on a United 737-8/9 last week. Couldnt have been more uncomfortable and out of place (I dont like to fly airlines out of my comfort zone) but the Direct TV service (95 channels) and the screens (looked to be about 9-10" and wide) were NICE. For 6 or 8 dollars depending on the length of the flight, price wasn't bad either.
You flew CO metal. UA metal does not have DTV. Regardless what was painted on the side, as slowly, both fleets are being repainted, and what was coded (as virtually all CO flights have a UA flight number and vice versa), it was CO. It cost $6 on all flights (no $8 for longer flights,) and is free in F as well as for pax who pay for an ELR (exit row or bulkhead seat). (Pax who are elite and choose an ELR for free do not get it free.)
