N267JB

Well, well, well, another day, another E190 having a seizure. I flew N267JB from JFK-BOS on Sunday and we encountered this plane acting a little goofy — and not being able to decide what year it is. In true E190 fashion, most TVs were showing the blue static screen during boarding. A pre-recorded audio safety demo (which i didn’t know jetBlue did — has anyone heard it before?) played over the PA and the TVs flickered out of their blue static dreamland into that welcome video boasting non-existent features like power ports and full-flight Fly-Fi. After takeoff, these TVs clearly had a little too many inflight drinks, with the seat next to me showing the original Sirius-less map software from what I assume is LiveTV 1.0 (picture below), while mine showed the normal LiveTV 2.0 map with SiriusXM. Then, after landing, this same TV that showed the old map began showing what looked like a LiveTV screensaver. E190 issues could be a whole, extremely hilarious thread tbh. This is a 2007 E190. if anyone knows why these things happened, please tell me! I’m honestly so curious about the interesting tech of this old system.

The old map on the TV next to me. Anyone know why this happened?

My tv had the regular one 🤷‍♂️

what even is this.
