I think the question was relating to if the letters P.O.R.T. stood for anything, Nick.

It stands for Panoramic Observatory Recreation Technology.
What do you mean it doesn't? Of course it does! Well if you are sure, maybe it just means a "port" into the world of Virgin entertainment.

Surely it stands for "Power Off, Retry Turning-on"?
Well, you'd think so on some flights...

Oh, hehe...I knew that.
Doesn't port just mean port. Virgin:Port a.k.a. a way for passengers to interact while on the plane. Sort of like a power port.

Well, no source of an acronym, but I did find
this from the company behind some of it.
Good Technnology developed the brand name ÔV:portÕ, the logo and creative identity of this revolutionary system developed by VAA, which has the ability to send text messages and e-cards to the ground and receive replies direct to your seat

They are both individual names for the same thing, VS & EK both use MAS 3000E IFE systems.
