what does V:port actually mean

i no that it means avod but who came up with the name V:port. the emirates avod is called ICE which stands for information communication entertainment.
what does V:PORT actually stand for?

Just a guess, but Virgin Port?

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... [:p]

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.

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