I only did the very short flight between SIN and BKK but it was working properly and was very usable although the short flight meant I missed the last 20 mins of my film
The CX system is really great and I enjoy the content a lot, the fact that all functions seem to need to be performed via the menu rather than having direct control from the IFE controller. I have been using the system on a number of flights recently but still find I periodically choose the wrong thing due to lack of user friendliness. Also if I have to watch the same crappy advertising at the front end of 7 or 8 tv programmes I think I will go insane.
