I did NOT update to the new DirecTV app and my "old" version stopped working the day new version was released. Now, after I enter my user/pswd the app just hangs at the authentication screen with the little spinning wheel. I am running the "paid" version of xcon which is supposed to prevent even the "you need to update" message.

The iPHONE app continues to work fine for scheduling which is what I really need.

You still need just xCon from the repo I listed above. You can upgrade to the new DirecTV app version now and all will work fine once you install both. I was having the same hanging issue as you before.

You don't need the xCon Alias app, it is virtually useless.
 
It just stops the mobile AppStore app from notifying you of upgrades for those apps that xCon patches.

It didn't work for me, at least the "non-paid" version of the xCon Alias app didn't. The DirecTV app kept showing up in the App Store as having an update.
 
Have DirecTV iPad app 1.6.6. Have xcon 37 beta 6 installed from n00neimp0rtant.dyndns.org/repo.

Still getting the "No connected receivers found" message.

Have jailbroke, unjailbroke and then jailbreak again and still getting the same error.

Under Receiver control in the app, I have no receivers listed, not even a receiver listed in red.

Any suggestions?
 
Strange thing. The new update works on my wife's ipad2 with xcon 36 installed. For some reason we did not update the Xcon with the last update and had not used the app. I updated mine to v37beta 6 with the last upgrade of the app and now that one does not work with the new app but the v36 on the ipad works with the new updated Directv app.
 
New DirecTV iOS App

I have the same problem, I get the message that I need to upgrade to the latest DirecTV app version.

Any idea if or when this will be fixed? I also had purchased the xCon Alias which didn't help.

I posted this problem on interriders last Friday and still no response.

I may just have to install iOS 6 and forget about jailbreaking.

Thanks,
Bob
 
DirecTV is getting nasty ��
Even today's upgrade for the iPhone DirecTV app won't run on jailbroken devices (that's a first for the iPhone app)

@DirecTV-What's the big deal ?

Because the iPhone app now allows streaming.
 
so what method works on the new Iphone update?

can I still use Ifile and search jailbreak in the directv area and change it from false to true?
 
I just saw on the devs' twitter accounts that an update is coming to cydia that addresses these issues
