I thought it might be an AC Rouge type experience, but even that looks doubtful - streaming IFE not guaranteed either. From what I gather, the price isn't cheap either.

Is AVOD really the most important factor to you in determining flight quality? Can't you load video on your own device? (Acknowledging the lack of in-seat power can be an issue on a seven hour flight.)

These aircraft are generally viewed as having the most comfortable economy seats in the UA fleet. To me, that would count for a whole lot more than AVOD if I was stuck in the back.
