Abstract
An aircraft communications system includes a satellite video receiver, a ground video receiver, wireless local area network (WLAN) circuitry to provide a WLAN within the aircraft, a processor and memory coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to supply video content from the satellite video receiver to the PEDs via the WLAN circuitry, store video content from the ground video receiver in the memory based upon a popularity rating of the video content, and supply stored video content to personal electronic devices (PEDs) within the aircraft via the WLAN.
