Long, long overdue, but a nice amenity. It's older tech (not AVOD, not touch screen, not HD), but the best inflight TV suite there is. Too bad the plan appears to be to remove the LTV system when the contract expires, which I assume is within the next few years.

The 'dark' 737s were the -900ERs that came with no entertainment options whatsoever, prior to installing and activating streaming IFE. Every 70+ seat airplane at least has a streaming option, which I find to be working properly about 9 in 10 flights. Conversely, two of my most recent 3 757-200 (75B) flights in Y had completely inoperative IFE, once only at my seat and once in the whole cabin. In that case, I actually used the streaming instead. So, YMMV.

It's sort of obviated by the wifi login page now (and Google maps, if you know...) but this gets a ^ from me. Now, if only the primitive map could be updated to provide a bit more information, or slightly higher resolution!
