Do we know if the system will have television? flew on it with TK and it had some news channels and a soccer channel if I recall correctly.
The system will be TV channel capable, delivered by streamed TCP/IP, but no decision on which live TV will be offered has been made yet.
To provide a reliable system with good performance requires attention to a vast number of details. The core technology from Panasonic performs very well, but software configuration, number of access points and wifi channel mapping, crew training, maintenance and operational procedures and streaming video encoding all need to be carefully optimized to provide the best guest experience.
I can't speak about the QF system, but having used the AC Rouge and UA systems, I know they are fundamentally "out of the box" and are not necessarily fully optimized from both a technology and procedural perspective.
