Name of 1990s entertainment system
Does anyone remember what the BA brand of in-seat entertainment was called? It was a looped video system with about six or seven channels. There were frequent ads with chrome-link dancing figures.
I want to call it "Lumia,"Humira," or perhaps even "Lunesta," but I don't think those aren't quite right.

For those among you/us who are curious the actual IFE equipment was the Total Entertainment System from Rockwell Collins.

How many of you remember when there used to be a film shown from a projector stuffed in the cabin ceiling? TWA ( scads ahead of BA in the seventies) used to have an "Adult" cabin on the 747 where they didn't put children and they showed more grown up entertainment. We used to hand out those ghastly stethescope type headsets.
What we called that wretched system back in the nineties is not repeatable here!
