We just started the roll-out of this feature, but we expect it to be available on all 200 aircraft by next month.

Thanks for the update Aaron but how about audio/music on DTV a/c as there currently is none or is that a no-go because it's a freebie and no money can be made? It's a matter if principle with me but if I ride in the village on a DTV aircraft, I will not pay for DTV and to be left with no other option simple $ucks (just like the new dark 319's & 320's with no IFE and wifi being the only thing being pushed)
