UA is very inconsistent. LAX-IAD last week only had 5-6 movies and a similar amount of TV. Same thing was available seatback and BYOD. It didn't matter much, because it was a redeye and I slept, but AS seems to have a consistently large library across flights. I've been flying AS enough that it would be nice if they changed things out more often.

They don’t always censor on Alaska Beyond; I watched Die Hard on Alaska Beyond via my iPad last week in its full YKMF’er glory.
Digi’s would have been fantastic to have on my PDX-ANC flight recently when they announced at 10,000 feet that the Wifi, and therefore the streaming entertainment, were inoperable on the flight. That would have been useful information to know in the gate area so that I could have purchased some reading material and not have to spend three hours playing with my belly button in the dark.

I typically get my movies from onboard aircraft. I am going to be missing out on a lot of movies 
(And yes, I skipped some earlier last month due to planned travel). Wish AS would allow us to stream their content from home for free- that would be interesting

I don't use them, but then again I do not watch any content provided by airlines unless it's an animated film. I can't stand how they censor the films and remove the swear words. It's distracting.
