Chris, since the video is running during taxi, why can't the commercials run at that time, than right after takeoff? I know this may sound odd, but taking off is one of my favorite parts of flying, and to have it be interrupted by blasting commercials is rather unnecessary...you have the same captive audience during taxi, why not do it then? (I'm not saying I approve of any of this, but trying to understand the timing.)
