We were just joking around bud.
But on a serious note its way more complicated than what you think.
Every app has different JB detection methods and procedures.
Some have services that run when the app launches or while it goes to do various tasks that looks for certain files and folders only installed on JB devices. Such as /cydia directory and many other strings or values added on Jailbroken devices.
If it was as easy as just editing a plist file and changing an entry we would have done it a while ago
Things are becoming harder to go around and devs can make things complicated and difficult to circumvent their detection methods.

Flex 2
What about Flex 2? Does anybody know if it will do anything for the Tivo app?
I'm about ready to try it, as I can't watch anything on my iPhone 6, with the Tivo app.
Thanks

Same here.
That's why I keep my iPad on stock iOS 8.1 for now till a solution for this comes out.

I just don't want stock, too many things I use my iPad for that stock won't do...
Plus if I was OK with stock, It'd incentivize me to upgrade my retina mini to a retina mini 2 or a iPad Air 3, haha... or whatever the latest is.
Xcon seems to work on IOS8
Just to offer some hopefully helpful advice, Xcon does seem to work on IOS8, and does seem to work on the Tivo app and MAAS360. Thing is you have to go outside of Cydia to get it and install it. So it's slightly more complicated, but not much. For whatever reason, you have to go get the latest developer build on github, and upload it with Ifile, and then run it in ifile and select the install option. Seems to work fine for me.

Really? It's working on iOS 8.1? I can't find which one you're referring to on that site. Can you post the direct download link? If in fact it works for TiVo on iPad and iPhone 6 you're going to be a hero on here.
UPDATE --- Sad to report xcon v39b7 does NOT bypass jailbreak detection on TiVo. (iPhone 6, iOS 8.1). :-( you had me excited for a moment.

Sorry it did not work.
So,
I don't actually use my TiVo app that much, but I thought that if run on a jail broken device, it would refuse to start, and give an error message about being run on a jail broken device? I don't see those errors, and the app launches, finds the TiVo(s), and connects to them. It is having issues with actually calling up the recorded content, but I was assuming that's a different issue, as it did not bitch about being run on a jail broken device.?
Never mind, my bad

Yeah ugh you had us excited. Do a bit of background next time. Hehe. Launching the TiVo app has always been fine as is scheduling and editing recordings. Like most apps, the issue is the streaming content be it live tv or a recorded show, or even downloading a show. That's when you get the jailbreak warning. Darn I was excited.
