Is this part of the nostalgic feel BA are bringing back?
I experienced that on a flight from Asia a couple of years ago. I was a bit shocked as I remember the old loop system and was amazed they were still using it. Once airborne the crew rebooted the whole system and then the video on demand came back. What was intriguing was it was the right films that were showing through the loop system so the (early) VOD must just be an interface layered on top of the old one.
