United adds playoff baseball streaming to Starlink seatback screens

United Airlines and DISH have added TBS to the airline's onboard streaming lineup, joining live shows from ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, NFL Network and TNF on Prime Video, and the service is now available on more than 200 planes operating about 900 flights per day.

Since the launch last month, passengers have watched more than 170,000 hours of live television; in September, over 5.4 million people—about a third of United's customers—had Starlink on their flight, and satisfaction scores are more than 40 points higher on Starlink‑equipped planes than on those with other Wi‑Fi service. Starlink is free for MileagePlus members in every class, United plans to finish installations by 2027, and it is offering a status‑match for Delta and American Airlines loyalty members to try Starlink.
