All the E175's come with VOD installed. They've been on every one I've ever flow (did 180,000 miles last year which included a bunch of these.)

And every single flight has had these VOD's covered by a paper sticker : "Coming Soon etc etc."

I don't know when AC plans on rolling them out. I flew ATL-YYZ once and my seat mate was with the company that did the programming and installation. He really didn't know why they weren't turned on; seemed kind of mystified.

Maybe they are waiting for some department in AC to issue the authorization or something and the paperwork has gone missing. In any event, it's been many months now they've had these, and it just looks plain dumb on their part.
