Chicago-based United Continental Holdings, which still has some operations in Elk Grove Township, aims to attract more travelers with live TV provided by Direct TV in 200 planes, possibly more than other airlines. And more planes are expected to offer the in-flight feature later this year, said United spokesman Rahsaan Johnson.
