I have now flown on this Singapore 744 TLV-JFK and today JFK-TLV. The seats are indeed very good but since it is Singaporean you can't jack in to AC power unless you have a Singaporean AC power jack.

The AV was indeed lousy and ate many tapes and the system had to be restarted on the TLV-JFK flight since BC didn't see any movies whereas economy did. On the JFK-TLV flight they had to stop one movie after a few minutes and try a different one (they picked one from the TLV-NYC selection)

The control station in the upper deck doesn't work (I watched the purser try) so all control on AV and AC has to be done from below.
