I don't accept the arguments that BA's problems are partly due to the difficult conditions. Most other airlines can get their systems to work nearly all of the time, BA cannot. There should be no excuses for this.

Okay so I should have put 'Should' be able to go back to the distributed video if the AVOD fails which 'Should' be better than nothing.

I'm not the best person for watching IFE as I tend to recline the seat into a bed and sleep (day and night flights) so IFE not a real priority for me (Although I do like the comedy audio channel).
