Hm. Then why do they _normally_ turn them off? I have never been on an
airplane where they have taken off and landed with the TVs running. In fact,
the last time we flew, they cut off the film just 5 minutes before the end,
and we never did see how the film ended! (We actually landed about 30 min.
later!) I think the film was Frequency. We are still looking through Krakow
for a copy to rent... :-)
