While this may be true for many of the members here; rooting is not something many average people/users do. Lets not forget that ROOTING voids most manufacturer warranties and those who root KNOW this and are willing to take the chance.
Further; the limitation is not placed by BHN; but by content owners as certain DRM parameters/requirements were not really met until later versions of Android were introduced.
As has been said in many of the threads here; just because you do; do not expect others to do the same.

I get the premise behind doing it but....and it's a big but...do so at your own peril.

ahhh well i did not want to get too deep into the politics of it but...
truth is YES i want to use MY own network with the device. ( requires root )
truth is YES i would like to be able to see my own systems files ( similar to hide system files (( options.. )) in view files in windows. again requires root )
truth is YES i want to be able to plug a usb keyboard, usb mouse, usb stick, or usb HDD into my device ! ( since it is limited to no media port again root is required.. )
did i legally buy the device YES. is rooted ? of course.
do i pay a bill already for the service and just want what they advertise as working all year ? ...
ok the limitation is not placed by BHN fine but one would tend to think BHN is no different then any other cable provider such as TW ( time warner which swapped territories with BHN here in s.fl some years ago ) whom has sensibly dropped the denial of service to rooted devices in their latest app.
do i have the latest version of android yes i am running jelly bean v4.1.2 so the DRM parameters/reqs are met according to your own statement
did i get it to work with my device YES ( even tho its listed as device not supported when you go to install the BHN app ) so i know its fully capable and possible just as the users/customers over at TW do with out having to beg. )
anyways just saying and i am not trying to fight, argue, or ridicule anyone. just to get the service to work for me as it does for others.
PS - do i want to root my device ? no not really .. am i forced to ? apparently if i want to use it for anything other then a door stop. |

|
| just to clarify ... my unit works. i did speak a little too soon on the other stuff tho its actually only necessary to root if want to connect to mass storage. which is nice i suppose but ill stick take the functionality anyday. |

I find it interesting that Netflix still runs fine on rooted devices, when we know the whole reason they weren't bringing it to Android in the first place was concerns with DRM.. |
|
| Hopefully the reason for the wait is for the addition of On Demand content and DVR Management to the new BHTV App.
TWC-TV Just added some new Features to there iPad App.
What's New in Version 3.0.0
- Added access to thousands of free and subscription on demand TV shows and movies
- Optimized for iPhone 5
- Added “recently viewed channels” feature to live TV program guide

I didn’t realize that the BHN app wasn’t compatible with Jellybean. For what it’s worth, the Time Warner app must have been updated to be compatible with JB, as a month ago I switched from the HTC Evo 4G LTE on Sprint running 4.04 to the HTC Droid DNA on Verizon running 4.11 and have no issues. Searching for the BHN app in the Play Store yields no results, so it doesn’t even show up. But there is hope.
And for those of you that think the app is useless because you can’t stream video outside of your own network, well, the latest update to the DirecTV app includes live streaming of a bunch of channels. In order to use the live streaming functionality you must be connected to the same network as the DirecTV set top boxes on your account. So it’s not just BHN and TWC with this limitation.

Huzzah! Works on Jellybean now. At least on my Galaxy S3 (AT&T) with stock JB.
Now if it would only work on rooted devices.... |

Netflix can do what they want from a rooted phone standpoint...just because one doesn't do it right doesn't mean the rest are going to follow especially with this issue.
