I was luckily enough to fly on a 74K on Monday, the Y seats definitely have the new StudioCX and the PTVs are touchscreen; even though it's still the old screens.
I found the new StudioCX to be slow and unresponsive when I used touchscreen, it was even worse with the remote; I found myself having to press the enter button really hard in order to select the program that I wanted to watch. There were also some glitches in the system, it showed some info about Heathrow T5 opening on 27th March 2008 and that some airlines may be changing check in desk. It was nice to have a touch screen PTV however the whole system needs to be improved as it definitely isn't remote control friendly. I still prefer the old system instead
