Not true. The Sky Go app, for example, still doesn't work when you use AirPlay mirroring. The actual message on the TV screen is something like "HDMI Out is Not Available When Using this App."

they're not blocking it per se tho, if anything, they're actually using video out to display a message, and video out takes priority over airplay mirroring. they're not blocking it, they're just using standard airplay to display a message.
Also that only came in on the recent update, it worked fine when iOS 5 was in beta

If Airplay is a 'System-level thing' the app shouldn't even know AirPlay Mirroring is enabled and should therefore work.
Whatever method they're using - and we're arguing semantics here, it doesn't work. Sky have obviously taken steps to prevent it from working and that, in my book at least, qualifies as 'blocking.'

totally wrong and shows you have no idea. Apple designed Airplay mirroring to know that if an app want's to use video out, then that takes priority for output. sky app's programmers know this and have used it to their advantage. there's no semantics being argued, you just didn't understand how it was designed.... if they were blocking it, it wouldn't even allow you to see the app on the screen, which you can do, you just can't see a video when it plays....

You are an extremely rude individual.
For your information, the app isn't shown on the screen - merely the informational message I described earlier.

I'm not rude, I'm to the point. If I was rude I'd call you names, which I have not.
For your information, you see the app on screen for a second or 2 before the video out kicks in and shows the message, which goes back to what I said previously.
I have to say that this shandyman comes over as extremely rude and arrogant not to mention unhelpful. But back to the topic. The upshot is that at the moment you can't watch love film on your appletv. The whys and wherefores aren't really helpful or conducive. A positive note is that according to love film official comments that have been made they are not against the idea so we may get it one day. I hope so because Netflix is rubbish in comparison
