Is there at least a way to NOT have to upgrade in order to use the app? Can the forced upgrade be hacked out?

The syndicated content publishers are requiring this now so that content ca not be stolen or redirected.
We have several contracts requiring the same thing which means we must disable the app on jail broken devices.
At the very least they should disable the streaming part if the device is jail broken so we can at least use the app for setting recordings and other features. I'm sure that wouldn't be such a difficult programming feat. full lockout is overkill.
My iPad isn't jailbroken in order to steal or redistribute licensed content...only to install some features which make the UI more user-friendly.
Like they should be able to tell that?
It's not DirectTVs fault. They are simply caught in the middle here.

You want DirectTV to only disable a portion of their app on jail broken devices, I suggest you contact them and request support....
If you "just got it" it will cost you a lot to dump it. Up to $480, $20/month term fee for every month not used in your 2 year contract.Ugh. Just got DTV and already ready to dump it.

Still in my first 30 days.

Second... I don't see what the big deal is with blocking a jail broken device. Did you notice that HBO, Cinemax and Netflix all work on a jail broken device? Well they do work fine, and the content in those apps is more valuable (and commercial free).
Can anybody help? The following solutions did not work for me.

And also, downloading the patch in Cydia did not work..
Im on the first gen iPad running 4.2.1
Ok everyone, I know that NOONE will believe me. But I *WAS* able to get the current updated version to work. I have the original ipad.
Don't ask me how I did it, because I messed with the strings and keys for about 4 hours last night. I finally gave up and fell asleep. This morning I got up downloaded and installed the directv (iphone app) onto my ipad. Got that all loaded up just so I could at least set recordings and what not. Well I go to check the directv ipad app and it loads right away, but it was weird because I didn't have to login, it just skipped past the login screen, so I wonder if it had something to do with my having the iphone app installed and running on the ipad?
I couldn't believe it, I watched nfl network for about 10mins, then I shut down the app and it asked me to login again and it detected that I was jailbroken. So it was almost like it used a good login from iphone app and applied it to the ipad app.
But I haven't been able to get it to work again, but my wife has been nagging me so I haven't been able to concentrate on it. I am going to try again later tonight to see what I can figure out, but I am VERY inexperienced when it comes to editing keys/strings, so I'm not sure.
Maybe someone can pick up on the iphone/ipad app correlation?
I know most won't believe me, but honestly what good what it do for me to randomly join a forum and post all of this.
I will update any progress I make.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks guys!
