I noticed on Engadget HD on one of the comments they tell you how to fix the app so it works on jailbroken ipads.

Also notice since it streams from the internet, maybe one day DirecTV will be able to stream VOD to non DVR's some day?
Who needs a hard drive for VOD? You don't on CABLE! Streaming VOD would be sweet.

Cool.
Got my legally downloaded APP to work on my legally Jailbroken device to stream my legally paid for DirecTV content within my legal home network

Only works on your own network through Ethernet and your router. You are able to watch a live program on your tablet and a different program on your receiver/DVR. You can record a live program on your DVR, watch a separate live program on your TV, watch a third live program on your iPad through this APP, and a 4th recorded program on your PC through DireccTV2PC all at the same time from the same DVR

that's disappointing. I guess it's useful if you have kids that are hogging the TV or something though
On gets HBOGo and/or MaxGo when they get those channels on Cable, why does DirecTV not offer access to those sites? Or do they?

It may eventually be able to be used outside your own network.
I am currently watch a show on my tablet while my wife is watching a separate show on the TV in the same room

There are many on the other site that actually believe that it is illegal to use this APP on a JB device

I don't know. I am sure someone may try it.
My iPad is WiFi only, so anything I do would have to be done on another WiFi connection. No different than what I can already do with my Vulkano APP
They believe that using this APP on a JB device is violating DirecTVs usage terms, thus we are illegally using DirecTV. I don't see how that is any different than using a Slingbox, Hava box, or Vulkano box
I find it more useful than a Slingbox within my house. With a Slingbox or Vulkano you have to watch the same program that is currently being watch on the TV. With this APP I can watch a totally different program than what is being watched on the same reciever/DVR.
I wonder how long it takes for someone to figure out how to stream the channels from anywhere...
That might be illegal, but then again maybe not.

It maybe violating DirecTVs terms, but how is it illegal if a Slingbox can do the same and that is not illegal?
