box install underneath seat in front

I just flew 747 and B330 with boxes (probably entertainment equipments)
install underneath seats in front of me.

I got no leg room.

Is there web site describe this in detail for us to avoid taking these seats
before buying tickets?

Thank you.

Well, JohnT,

was not specific:

I haven't seen leg room resreiction of SeatGuru. Can anyone point to an
evaluation there which would have helped the OP avoid his problem?

I also understand Singapore Airline's 747 flying between SFO and HKG also
has boxes under seats. Can anyone confirm exact box locations so that we can
avoid it. Thank you.

Those boxes are for the entertainment systems - the downside of having one
of the best inflight systems around, on-demand movies in economy. They seem
to be placed every few rows. As far as I remember they are usually under
aisle seats in the outer rows of seats. They may be somewhere in the central
rows but I never fly there (being a window seat fan on longhaul).

There are so many I think you will have trouble finding out where they all
are. If you are doing seat allocation at checkin you can ask to avoid them,
but I think if you book your seat online or over the phone in advance it
think it's just luck.
It may even vary between 747 models (and of course some long hauls are not
747s)

I have usually been an aisle seat person since I often like to get up
and walk about and don't want to bother others in the row. The airlines
may just have changed that habit. I may be able to get center section
aisle seats though.
