Personal Device Entertainment issues on 757?
Wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this.
I flew IAH to LAX and back last week, was on a 757 both ways (may have been the same plane).
On both flights I had a ton of issues with PDE. I could start a movie, watch maybe 5-10 minutes, then the sound would continue a minute or so without the picture, then it would stop. This was on both my Iphone with the up to date United app and on my laptop. Unitedwifi.com would connect maybe 1 in 10 tries.
Wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this recently. First flights in a while so I was surprised as I've never had issues with PDE in the past.

After trying the laptop and having it happen on more than one flight made me think it was either aircraft type or a system issue.

Had an issue on a 737, where if you were able to get a movie or show started, it would keep playing. However, if you close the screen and try to pick another movie, it would not connect for the rest of the flight. Wi-fi was also wonky.
