I was on one of these on my last flight to Washington. The design of the in-flight media system is truly atrocious.
- generally slow, laggy, and unresponsive touch interface
- it allows you to browse, select and queue shows to watch, then politely tells you that the system is currently unavailble and jumps back to the main menu, losing your settings.
- once the system becomes available, and you're watching something, if you pause for more than a few minutes, or rewind, watch out, it's likely to crash
- it crashed with about 15 minutes of the episode left and took about 30 minutes to reboot. Nice!
- once it had rebooted, she went back through the multitude of menus, got to the episode, selected it and... "system unavailable". Argh!
