fixed now by the xcon developer

Yes I can confirm it works, please buy and show your gratitude to the dev.

You have to install xcon 25 via there repo as the one on cydia is only 23. It works a treat after that.

Hi

I can get the skygo to work on my mobile now using the xcon, however trying to use HDMI out on my phone to the TV doesnt work anymore ?

Anyone else got similar issues trying to hook up ipad/iphone with sky go to a TV?

I pay £80 a month to Sky and cannot for the life of me see what having a JB iPad has to do with them !! Very annoyed is an understatement.

I can sort of understand it from Sky's angle though. Sky Go is just so easy to abuse - our house pays about the same per month and I could easily add anybody's laptop to our account and he/she would get all the benefits of the Sky package too, for nothing.

Cheers, SKY GO is working fine on my iPad 2 now. I still,find it strange that in the error message it didnt say why the app wasnt working. :confused:

I don't understand what this Xcon alias thing is tho?

Also does anyone know how many devices you can have linked to a SKY account?

morkfromork · 4 Mar 2012 at 15:34

You can only have two devices per sky account. You can also only change them about twice in a month (might be three times).

The xcon alias is there to combat the vendors updates. If i am correct if sky update and you have alias it will still work. I think.

Have you checked the app you were using to output the display is enabled/installed?

I was using a free version, didnt work no matter what settings i played with, So I then paid for display out as you have, it doesnt seem to have a UI i can configure but does say sky go may already be ok for tv out so i guess its working? I plug it into HDMI port and nothing

holymonk · 4 Mar 2012 at 17:53

Tried plugging directly into HDMI in on TV, no picture, tried watching something other than SKYgo, not that ive tried that before, no picture......

ffs!!!!!!!

How do you connect from iPad to TV? HDMI-30 dock iPod connector?

Yes, and to get Sky Go to output you need Display Out or a similar app from Cydia (as Sky block external displays).

Sounds to me like you need to enable it, you can toggle it from SB Settings drop down or there is a display out section in the iOS settings screen down the left hand side.

I had the same issue with DisplayOut, could not get it working at all. Seems a few people are having this same issue with 1.6.2. I downloaded TvOut2 instead and that works fine.
