I am not surprised by the eventual deactivation of Live TV but they deactivated before the transition at April 24 was a bit surprising. I guess their contract might be up for renewal on March 1st. Alaska Airlines and Virgin America should have reminded passengers weeks before.

Was there no blog post/news article/press release/tweet/blogger pile-on about this? I've taken two flights in the last week without this, and it's hugely disappointing. I may complain, I guess.

Yep. IAD-LAX late last week. No live TV, and no music playlist. Alaska blankets and pillows. Still had the VX amenity kit. Food included the smoothie and, of course, the hummus.
Of course, the big white leather seats were still there and comfortable.
Word is that they will change the legacy Alaska SEA-IAD-SEA equipment from Boeing to Airbus, so that all flights into and out of IAD will be Airbus for the time being.
