    Seems to be ok here, you get a pile of ads before a show but that's to be expected.

    4oD android app released. Only works over WiFi and for non-rooted phones.
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.channel4.ondemand

    whats the deal with the apps lately having a non-rooted requirement? the sky go app was the same when it was released
    4od and SkyGo would be handy on my tablet but its a HP touchpad so is obviously rooted

    The fear of people obtaining access to media with paying the provider.

    And there's no problem with it working in Ireland?

    Its ad supported unlike the iplayer

    iplayer only supported by TV licence so because we don't pay for it we don't get it (without difficulty!)

    sure you need a login for a valid account for sky go surely this wouldnt change just cause you have a rooted device and 4oD is free to access anyway...I reckon it must be something to do with all the unlicensed devices from China or something

    It's because A) They can't guarantee its stability on custom firmware and B)They don't want you setting up some root only app that lets you record the content. There's certain kernels that allow you to temporally un-root, Siyah being one.

    "Jiggery Pokery" [technical term] can be performed outside of the providers control. That no likey that.

    c)

    they don't want you using TV-out to your telly

    do yourselves a favour and get a Linux sat box, easy to setup and can stream without problem to every device I possess, even set up a dynamic DNS and can access the box remotely on my phone or tablet

    Delirah that 4od came out. It's the one app that I really missed when swapping over from ipad to Android.

    It's working now. Deadly!

    Been trying out this for a day now. This came back from Windows Mobile days and its a fairly useful app if your not really into clutter and rather have quick gestures to get to your apps.

    Ive set up a pie thing from the right of the screen to give me quick access to phone, messages, internet, WiFi and BT toggle, fairly handy. I removed them all of the home screen now.

    Saves the clutter :)

    Root required

    Simpsons: Tapped Out has apparently been released (doing a firmware update so can't confirm) - beware, be-very-ware!

    Addictive game, I have it on my iPad. I don't know if I want it on my phone as it's a time/battery killer!

    Google Play is telling me the 4od app is incompatible with my devices. I have an HTC Desire HD. It's not rooted, anyone tell me why?

    What with the One X+ due out now, there's no point in getting the One X for virtually the same money.

    As much as a Samsung biased person that I am, just get the One X+ if you really want to stick to HTC.

    Doesn't seem to be on my Xperia T on 4.1.2 either. Not that pushed, as I don't really want it on my phone.
