The CSD on recent flight mentioned that AVOD was on its way, with the fleet set to be refitted beginning in October.

Surprised that NW was not included on their list. I was hugely impressed by their IFE... granted, it was the first time I had used AVOD inflight before but the selection was seemingly endless and I was spoiled for choice. No "bird's eye view" however... if the BA system is anything similar, I will be more than content. ^
