just b/c you have the download file doesnt mean it works on the desktop you install it on.. it will still reject you from watching live tv on it b/c every desktop has an external monitor attached to it.. |

If you disconnect the monitor from our desktop, will it run?? Anyone try running it on a laptop and connecting to the lappy with Remote Desktop? |

said by GolfDude:just b/c you have the download file doesnt mean it works on the desktop you install it on.. it will still reject you from watching live tv on it b/c every desktop has an external monitor attached to it.. the point of my post was to show that a moderately large company like Cablevision, shouldnt be using scripts that can easily be circumvented, in an attempt to prevent a user from downloading the application to a desktop computer. you can easily enough download the file on your laptop and send the file to your desktop using various methods to send the file if a user isnt capable of circumventing Cablevisions "detection" script. whether or not the application will work on a desktop is irrelevant to an advanced PC user, since an advanced PC user can obtain the tools necessary to effectively "debug" the application on the laptop, collect the needed variables and information and create their own "application" or modify variables on the desktop PC in order to make the application work on a desktop PC. there is always a work-around. its safe to assume that Cablevision will obviously produce revised versions of this application in time, that will attempt to be "stronger" at preventing an advanced PC user from "debugging" it. |

Can you run it on a desktop with no monitor (or a laptop I suppose) & VPN to your desktop? |

the only place that checks multiple monitors is silverlight applet on their webpage. you can bypass it by using the link i pasted above. |

But yes, once installed it complains "Your account is not enabled for Optimum App for Laptop".
The app is written in silverlight or at least uses silverlight as a shell. Apps' internal name is 2139263213.optimumapp.iptv.optimum.net is that somebody's phone number? the only problem with that link is that you have to be previously logged in, in order for it to work or it just redirects you to the landing page. ive done a little bit of "debugging" and discovered theres a number of servers in use to auth this app, they currently are not configured at this point (for suffolk county) and gives the error about the account not being enabled (the server returns blank). id like to get my hands on the auth servers for those who are able to use this app and change my dns server to redirect to those IP's since this app is calling by name and not number, then this app will work for long island (probably not correctly). if the news 12 long island is streaming as a test on the landing page, then the video servers for this app are obviously working, but its not known exactly how many channels. it appears they are using a similar algorithm that netflix uses, sending "chunks" of the AVC1, AACL & DFXP data to silverlight to be re-assembled by the player. |

I already had it installed on my desktop (I also replaced /download at the end of the URL since I knew Optimum Link does the same thing, and wasn't too surprised it worked), I just haven't had a chance to actually try the app. I figured they'd do the check on run like how the iOS app checks for jailbroken devices upon run. Good to know it currently doesn't. |

said by jbondsr:i get an ipad entitlement error. Then either your optimum ID is not on an active account, does not have email permissions, or was recently created. Click on "My Account" on the homepage & go to "ID Center". If it tells you to move the ID to an active account, do that. If not, contact Tech support and they'll fix it very quickly. |

Yup, the install went perfectly fine. So who is in the magic location, Bethpage again?
How rude to not let us use it. |

It's not on the homepage today. Did they pull it back? |
|

It still says "Customer Trial" on the landing page, so it doesn't sound like its out of beta. |

I doubt that has anything to do with it. We have an Optimum store in town, too. |

So the detailed system requirements say: "Intel Pentium III 450mhz", but my 1.5 GHz Celeron M (based on a Pentium Dothan core and much faster than a 450 MHz Pentium III) isn't acceptable.
Are the CV programmers completely clueless? |
