I have an iPhone 4s, jail-broken, running iOS 5.0.1 and I'm trying to connect it to my HDTV. Apparently there is some issue with the newest A/V adapter and iOS 5.0.1 and i don't actually know what it is but every time I try to plug in the adapter it says iOS version unsupported please update. There is no JB for 5.1 and i don't have access to the older adapter. I've tried using the adapter with and without Display Out 1.6.7 but it will not work. I could update to 5.1 but then I lose my JB, which just isn't going to happen. What I'm trying to figure out is wtf is going on, how does the adapter know what iOS version I'm running? Why does it matter what version I'm running? Is there a work around? Other than updating or getting my money back for the adapter, what are my options? It's very upsetting that this isn't working, apple insists on doing things their way and generally speaking, they are VERY user friendly, intuitive, and easy to use however, they also firmly believe in "closed" systems and in situations like this it's rather annoying. We pay a lot for out iDevices and we should be able to with them as we please. Not everyone uses Cydia/JB "maliciously". Please if anyone can offer some insight, a work around, or another solution I am unaware of I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for ANY help with this.

Still having issues with this and I've been searching frantically for solutions.. Almost obsessivly even, I may have a slight OCD but this is truly driving me nuts. If anyone has any ideas, please help. I've even considered updating to 5.1 but losing my JB is still something I don't want to do and there is no official public release as of yet. Chronic Dev team states could be months out still -_-

Thats an option I havn't actually explored yet, to be honest until yesterday I thought Apple TV was an actual TV. I didn't realize it's unit you connect to your current TV. I still dont know much about it but I am curious.. Can I directly connect my device to the hub? I thought 1080p ran off of a hard disk required significantly higher read speed than is typical in most HDD and still wondered how the iPhone could output that high a resolution. Even more curious is getting that high a data speed off a wireless transmission. 720p/1080i is still as good as any dvd can get and is not bad quality and I may have to go that route anyway. Also, Apple TV 3 has just released is that gonna require the update as well? Updating iTunes does nothing to interfere with my JB so it is a viable option still, just curious how exactly to go about setting up the hub. If possible I'd really like to connect directly to my iPhone rather than wireless from my PC. Based on the "AirPlay Mirroring" you suggested it seems as though I can bluetooth or something to the unit directly from my phone, which sounds cool but is there input lag? Degredation of data?
