Second the call for VX, terrific domestic Y product in a market where the standard is abysmal. JB is also quite good.
Because 'domestic' routes in North America are served by a huge variety of aircraft and different routes have different service levels, you could have more options on certain routes if you could share some of your planned flights.
None of the legacy carriers (AA, UA, DL, CO, AS) have PTVs on 'domestic' aircraft (and many aircraft, such as AA's MD-80s, don't have any IFE whatsoever) but certain trunk routes have international aircraft operating on them, and these could be your best bet for PTVs. You will generally be charged for a headset, even for overhead IFE.
For AA, think LAX-DFW/MIA/ORD. UA's look something like LAX and SFO-IAD/DEN/ORD, CO and DL are less clearcut but many routes in and out of IAH/EWR and ATL/MSP/DTW respectively have the heavy metal on them.
DL are fitting PTVs, or have finished doing so, on their 757 fleet (barring the ex-NW 753s). CO plan similarly but as far as I know, they've not done anything.
