I do recall that the last time I was on a plane with DirecTV, whenever an announcement was made, the screen would pause, but I wouldn't hear it over the audio, just the speakers. I'd try to pull out my ear phones but I'd miss most or all of the announcement. Not sure if this is common or just a bug.

I figured that they were there incase someone had a question, although they usually walk off before the video is over.
