In addition, this is the first 737-800 in North or South America to feature an audio/video on demand (AVOD) entertainment system by Panasonic Avionics Corporation with live TV available at every passenger's seat in both First and Coach Class service.

Delta on Demand is the airline's advanced, in-flight entertainment system which features a wide array of options for customers including up to 25 first-run and popular classic movies; 18 channels of live satellite television on domestic routes and a variety of stored TV programs on international routes; HBO on demand; a broad range of music selections that suit every taste and genre; a suite of 12 video games; and, interactive trivia that allows for friendly play among passengers. Delta on Demand is currently available on 101 aircraft within Delta's fleet including eight Boeing 777s (268 seats), eight Boeing 767-400s (241 seats), 48 757s (184 seats), one 737 (160 seats) and 36 767-300ERs (36 BusinessElite® seats). By June 2008, Delta expects to add the functionality to an additional 95 aircraft including two 777-200LRs (276 seats), six 767-400s (241 seats), 27 737-800s (160 seats), 21 767-300s (262 seats), 23 767-300ERs (36 BusinessElite seats) and 16 757-200s (174 seats). :up: :up: :up:

Wow, it's about time DAL installed IFE. But, I will ask again...does the IFE system work when you turn it on? I read on other blog sites, it's not doing very well and DAL has very disappointed passengers.

While the system certainly had some teething problems initially, Panasonic has been diligent about working out the bugs and it would appear to be paying dividends. Only time will tell...At any rate, this is the system Delta's inflight system, the Panasonic eFX system, is based off of, so there is a great deal of future upgrade capability if Delta chooses to do so.

I don't know wbout somebody naming their system AVOD, it's too close to AVOID. The pictures look nice though, I just don't know about Panasonic naming the system.

I agree, one would have thought they could have thought of a better acronym than AVOiD. :lol:
 
AVOD is a industry acronim. Airbore Video On Demand. The Panasonic system name is Efx. I'm not so sure how well Panasonic is keeping up with repairs. In Bos we typically get one or two Efx equiped aircraft a night. I've seen planes that have had the AVOD inop for a month. Back when we had more Song flights there were two Panasonic reps on sight to work the system. Now we have none, so all we can try to do is reboot the system or look for a loose connector. By the tems of the contract I don't think we are even supposed to do that much. I suspect with the 738 systems coming on line we will see the reps in more stations.
 
Today the first modified Boeing 737-800 aircraft is taking flight for transcontinental customers traveling on Delta Air Lines (NYSE😀AL - News) -- complete with the next generation of more comfortable Coach Class seating and Delta on Demand, the airline's industry-leading digital entertainment system available at every passenger's seat.

The 737 narrow-body aircraft offers 16 First Class seats and 144 Coach Class seats. Delta is the first airline to offer the sleek, new, leading-edge ``slim line'' seats from Weber Aircraft LP for customers traveling in coach class which boast:


Is that a mis-print 16 and 144 or do you guys really pack them in?

No misprint, they added 10 Y/C seats due to the slim line seats and rear galley reconfiguration.
So they also had to add another F/A.
 
I've used the AVOD system on some of the ex-Song 757's... seemed to work fine.

so... there's a satellite receiver on top of that 73?!? I'm having trouble seeing it...

Well, I think you have solved the reason the AVOD system doesn't work. They forgot to install the satellite receiver! :lol: Somehow, that really wouldn't surprise me. :shock: Sure hope they fix the problems.

Sorry Alice but the picture is of one of the aircraft that does not have the system on it yet.
