Are you referring to your DDG?
Our MEL specifically advises to keep IFE OFF until both engines started.
The only MEL is APU. And there is nothing in that MEL about IFE... At least in our company MEL.
the best people to ask are the people maintaining your aircraft.
I wish...
it is standard practice where I work to let the cabin crew know not to start the video until we start our taxi otherwise they will have to do a manual brief to the pax.
That's already something. At least I know it's not a fault. We found it out after some time, but still were not sure this was the normal thing. It's really not clear from these wonderful Airbus books.
Not a fault , use two ground power plugs and works fine. Look at the logic table for sequence depending on which power is supplying !
It doesn't matter how many cables are plugged in. You still have to unplug them before pushback and back to square one: 1 engine generator supplying everything..
