Red is OK but if you're flying them transcon regularly you run of good programs easily. Most of the movie offerings are indie films - I didn't find many top notch offerings. VH1 music videos will definitely be a good addition. I suggest that they also add more popular TV episodes (they had a few but nothing compared to SQ or CX IFE).
