What you may have though is inflight Wi-Fi to let you surf the web, chat, and catch up on email while in flight. Unfortunately, they've just started adding the service to their A320 fleet, so your chances of finding it on those planes is small (the A321 fleet is full installed). It's also relatively expensive.

Nothing. Zip. Nada. US has no inflight entertainment on their domestic fleet (except on flights to Hawaiii). That said, many people don't see that as much of a loss, since the poor quality picture on the old CRTs and tiny LCDs weren't much to see. I know I'm at least as happy to be watching my own movies and listening to my own music on a laptop or tablet.

Just had two flights- one on an A319 which was equipped with WiFi, the other on an E175, also equipped with WiFi. I was surprised. Didn't think it was available on the smaller fleet yet.
If OP brings along a device on which to use WiFi, beware that US doesn't have ANY plug outlets on board, so be sure the device is fully charged before leaving!

I flew on an exUA A319 last weekend flying back from MSY and I was dumbfounded that there was drop down TV monitors showing episodes of the Big Bang Theory and the Mentalist. My tablet didn't want to play the episodes of Law and Order I had downloaded off GooglePlay for some reason so it was a major ^.

Here's a nice progress page on usairways.com for WiFi and GoGo Vision (which is 0% right now).

Don't be so sure on the ife from sfo to maui on ua.....
Thanks. What I thought. Maybe I'll sleep or read a book. Should have something on the flight onward to Maui (United flight).
