Got to admit is it really comical for all the wrong reasons. Only VM would do something like this.

I'd be fuming and gutted if it was me.

At least it works well enough on my S3. Though not sure I'd use it much over the ipad's version. Still it's good to have the option and to be able to record when I'm out.

Hopefully they'll update it for 4.4 soon.

Yep all my nexus devices updated last week to 4.4, so all useless with this app.

And yet the BBC iplayer works brilliantly with every new upgrade to Android.

Downloaded app. I quite like the interface, the ability to search channels and the usability.

I just wish there were premium channels.

Indeed that's how l see it.

I have a funny feeling it won't be updated for Kitkat until Jan/Feb 2014 when the likes of HTC and Samsung roll out their version of KitKat. Then there will be more pressure to get it updated.

I can see where VM are coming from, get the app released for the majority and hope the minority don't complain too much. AFAIK it is only the Nexus devices running Kitkat so they are hoping for damage limitation.

Thankfully, I can get the app as I have one of the few supported devices and I am not not up-to-date with the 4.4 - I am still waiting to get 4.3.

However, I have to say the link you provide hardly causes any major issues.

This does seem like a poor launch from VM. For the amount of time it has taken, it would have been nice to see more devices supported. I feel very sorry for the many customers who are with Virgin Mobile are missing out on a pretty decent bit of kit.

Smacks of desperation, and poor coding, that an app is not compatible with the latest version of android. Especially as it is designed to be as backward compatible as possible.
Someone realised they said it would be released in 2013, and hit the panic button. I am in software development and see this all the time.

The problem of using the cheapest contractor, sometimes, you need to bite the bullet and release the project to someone else.

Daaaargh!
It says this app is incompatible with my device. Galaxy Note.

I don't have any interest in the streaming side of it, but all this time I've wanted a replacement for Tivo Commander. And one of the more popular phones isn't supported, even for remote control.

You couldn't make it up...

Are you going to update? , or leave it so you can use the app.

No luck for me either. Got an HTC evo (not on the list) Nexus 7 which updated to kitkat and getting a Medion 10 inch tablet for xmas.
