Already been done. That's how AVOD already works today on most airlines (and has for many years). The content is streamed from a "server" somewhere on the plane. The two differences with the DL Studio are A) BYOD (Bring your own device) and B) Wifi.

I actually think A is harder than B, because there are tons of different devices out there to support. Wifi is a standard, and as long as they survey and spec the coverage correctly, that part will be fairly easy.

There is a gogo video player app on itunes -- I believe you need that.

Delta website claims the DELTA IPAD APP will also work, but the IPAD app sucks, so I've downloaded the gogo player just in case.

Really? Do I need to carry my Commadore 64 to watch movies?

What browser are you using? I know if you are using the desktop version of Internet Explorer 11, you need to disable Enhanced Protected Mode. To do so, go to Tools -> Internet options -> Advanced, and under Security, uncheck Enable Enhanced Protected Mode.

Tried Delta Studio this morning, PHX-ATL on an old 757.

I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone, so I used my laptop running Firefox.

Downloading the browser plug-in took about 10 seconds. I then restarted my browser and the movie library popped up. There was no verification of seat assignment, class of service, name, email, etc. It was a very quick start-up.

Most movies and TV shows are between $1 and $6. There is some free content, also.

There are no advertisements when the movies begin to stream which is a plus. The content is not in HD, but that's not a big deal on a 13" laptop screen.

System is working well for TUL-ATL this morning. Went to a sample movie and the charge was $6 or put in your first and last name with seat number and then the movie became free (if you were in J, F ,or EC). You do need to download the gogo video app beforehand or pay for gogo to download it (I paid and it downloaded fairly quickly for a 5mb app). Went back to the Studio web page and clicked play and the movie started playing in the new app. No lag, good quality, and rewind and fast forward work great.

All in all, this is a great enhancement.

(For reference, This was all on an Ipad Mini)

This is a great feature! :D

I was able to watch the first 15 minutes of "Her" today on my flight from ATL to CAE. I thought I remembered seeing this would only be available on flights over 1.5 hours, but I gave it a try and it worked. I had the same experience as turnpike did above. Opened the Gogo splash page, selected a movie, put in my name and seat number, and then it opened via the Fly Delta iPad app. The movie buffered once 15 seconds in, but after that it streamed perfectly with a good quality image.

Apologize if this has been asked. Read on Delta and could not find the answer. Do you have to pay for Gogo internet service to stream Delta Studio?

no

I was able to use Delta Studio on my ATL - SJC flight tonight. It was great once I figured out how to select movies and then view them. It's a little odd since you select the movies in your internet browser (Safari on iPad) and then play the movie using the Fly Delta app. But, the streaming was great and there were no hiccups in the streaming.

I noticed that the iOS DL app updated yesterday includes the movie feature so you did not use the Gogo video app but just DL's app?

You can use either one. When selecting a movie for the first time, it bring up both options and if you have either one installed, you click on the corresponding logo and that app will open up and start playing the movie.

Update on service. On our LAX-HNL GoGo equipped 757 tonight, as soon as GoGo service ended 10 or so minutes into the flight, I could no longer watch any movies. So it still needs internet service to do something, but hopefully that will change soon or we just had a glitch in our system.

Delta Studio didn't work on my BOS-SLC flight today even though Gogo was working fine. I tried on my laptop and iPhone and got the same error message on both:

LAS-ATL last night in F; worked fine. Select movie in browser, movies in First and EC are free, login with name and seat number to verify, then it opens/plays in the GoGo Player app .
