I am hoping to watch the world cup this week on some transcon flights. JFK-LAX and JFK-LAS.

Live TV is available on most 752s, and all 753s, 738s, and 739s. Keep in mind that it’s very inconsistent and often dosen’t work. I also believe that some of the World Cup games are on FS1 this year, which I don’t believe DL has in their Dish TV lineup.

On a 737 that you'd get on JFK-LAS, you should get satellite tv. If it's a 737-900, it has a better chance of working than if it's a 737-800, IME.

I started a thread about DISH TV on DL recently. Was shocked to see it as never had before. One of the common themes is that you can't expect to have it, even if on equipment that should. Also if you have it onboard, can't expect for it to work.

Update live TV on Delta flights wanted
I've recently changed my allegiance to Delta so will be flying them a lot. Typically I'm going between SBA and SLC in a Delta Connection E175. No seatback entertainment but supposed to have wifi and Delta Studio streaming service(I believe) on the plane. Does anyone know if I'd be able to get live TV on this flight or just the mainline jets?
