Boeing's change in naming conventions with the MAX generation of the 737 causes a lot of confusion. It is a 737-9 MAX, or just MAX9. All 737-900s are the older NG generation.
The new AVOD system does not have live TV and, AFAIK, none has been announced. Hopefully it will be added at some later date.
