directv app and jailbroken iphone 4

[lenmac08#IM]

directv app gives and error message saying it doesn't support jailbroken phones and to restore the phone to factory setting in order to login!!!

Is this new? is this a precedent that others may follow? Little disturbing!!!

any others run into this????

Several apps have already started doing this... it comes down to "your right to jailbreak" and "their right to block you". Theoretically it could be done for security reasons... but there are ways around that if you search the repositories...

Xcon

Or rename cydia.app in ifile, but if you go the renaming route you will end up having to rename it everyone you perform a tweak

xcon hasn't been updated yet for directv for iphone but he knows about it and is working on it.
