AVOD Problems Continue, with Publicity
Coming home from JFK 3 weeks ago, the crew had to reboot the AVOD several times. Not a high visibility event, so QF probably doesn't care... but last night on TV, the Australian 9 network hosted a World Cup special from Germany. QF is the Socceroo prime sponsor, and probably helped 9 with seats etc.
Celebrity panel member Sam Newman cracked jokes about how it took the most of the flight to watch one movie, due to never ending problems with the AVOD. Not a good advertisement! I suspect sponsor QF 'were not amused'...... but then again, if they got a workable system, no need for jokes at their expense!

Ch 9 was given plenty of assistance with sending crew and cast to Germany and management are not happy with big Sam! But he did say what we all think when we are on a flight and the AVOD goes down so hopefully QF will take note!I bet Sam Newman is off Geoff's Christmas list
