On Demand Entertainment in Biz Class on 757
Flying on a domestic non-stop coast to coast on a 757 and Delta agent said it has On Demand TV in Biz/1st Class (just 2 classes of services). I have used this on Jet Blue before, is Delta's similar?

DL's is probably better. Live TV, on Demand movies, HBO and entertainment such as games etc.

That might simply mean no overhead entertainment. Does the seat map show 6 rows or 7 rows in First? If it is a DL 757 with 7 rows of FC it definitely has AVOD. The movie selection is always good and quite current (recent theater releases); HBO series, comedy, & documentaries; many many full CDs with a wide range of genres, and about 20 cable channels (some will not work I am sure). All entertainment options will be free in FC. Being able to pause movies when being served or to use the lavatory is a very nice feature. I much prefer DL's system over CO's. Can't say anything about JetBlue's.

care to share where you are going? route to route things change.
for example the BusinessElite serivce JFK-SFO/LAX will have at seat on demand entertainment but no live tv.

You're in a true BusinessElite (BE) seat, with loads of legroom and AVOD at every seat. As of now, there's no live TV on these ships (because they previously were tasked with overseas routes where it isn't available), but more than enough entertainment to keep you occupied.

I believe for the winter tatl 752ER flying has been so dramatically scaled back, it probably just turns around and heads for LAX or SFO. (Or maybe, MCO, SLC or ATL)
