Anyone get channel 9 on a reconfigured CO or PDE aircraft yet?

Does anybody know when UA is finally going to integrate Channel 9 with PDE?
With the domestic 752s gone and more and more international routes turning into 787 flights, I haven't been able to use Channel 9 in over a year and a half. It's been very disappointing...

Is United's Channel 9 ever coming back?
I was talking with a seatmate today and he said "I really wish they'd bring back listening to air traffic control" and I thought to myself, ugh, yes! This was not supposed to go away with all these upgrades, right?
What happened? Did we lose this feature? It was so awesome :-/
Can we get it so it streams via the personal entertainment system maybe?

How to find "From the cockpit" on 757-200
So I just had my first experience on a lie flat seat yesterday on the 757-200 and it was incredible. However, I wasn't able to locate channel 9. It was listed as an 80's music station. There was no mention at all of the ATC programming on the screen. Does that mean that the pilot had it turned off the entire time? The whole remote control vs. screen thing was very confusing all together. Is there a wiki on how to use AVOD on the 757-200?

On the sCO 757-200s (16 BF seats), it's not installed. These fly p.s. routes, EWR-SFO/LAX, as well trans-Atlantic routes, and the occasional domestic route.
More here, especially in the Wiki.
