If you are on the one with just the overhead monitors then no you won't have to pay.
The context of that quote above was about SFO-Hawaii flights.
Did they add ETOPS certification to the original CO 753s outfitted with DTV?
We only get the ex-ATA ETOPS certified a/c as far as I know on the mainland - Hawaii 753 flights so there's no DTV.
Has that changed?
