Dan Rosenberg (aka bliss) figured out this little trick which allows a content bypass for rooted builds of the Logitech Revue. In order for this to work it will need to be executed after each reboot, but only needs to be placed on the device once per firmware upgrade.

Download content bypass files from:
http://www.multiupload.com/F4BL1LMB0A

Connecting to Revue with ADB
Step 1.) Get IP Address of Revue (settings->network->status).
Step 2.) Enable adbd (settings->applications->development), then check "Remote Debugging".
Step 3.) Add the IP Address of the computer you are connecting from ("Debugger Ip Address in settings->applications->development).
Step 4.) Connect to adb from computer using the following (Replacing <ipaddresshere> with your ip) adb command:
Quote:
adb connect <ipaddresshere>

Step 5.) Restart adbd as root by executing the following:
Quote:
adb root

Step 6.) Reconnect to adbd on the Revue using:
Quote:
adb connect <ipaddresshere>



Placing files on Revue (Requires ADB root/ADB connect portion above):
Step 1.) unzip contentbypass.zip from downloaded link above
Step 2.) Paste each line of the following (one at a time) from inside the directory of the unzipped contentbypass.zip.
Quote:
adb shell mkdir /data/data/boom
adb push boom.sh /data/data/boom/
adb push losetup /data/data/boom/
adb push plugins.img /data/data/boom/


Executing script (also requires ADB connect portion at top, and needs to be done after each reboot):
Step 1.) Execute the following command after having connected to adb
Quote:
adb shell
su
cd /data/data/boom/
sh boom.sh


You will also want to make sure to change the user agent in chrome:
1.) Open chrome on Revue
2.) Click the options button (Between ctrl and alt)
3.) Choose Settings
4.) Choose Advanced Settings
5.) Click on "Under the Hood" in the left panel
6.) Scroll down to the User Agent secion and choose "Generic User Agent"


Thanks,
Zenofex

Love that bliss figured this out, but this development really puts me in a bit of a dilemma. I've been running the first 3.1 leak for months (without Netflix) and have been impatiently waiting for the official update. I didn't want to bother with the user debug version b/c I didn't think it was worth the bother given the recovery issues. Now, on the same day that the official 3.1 is FINALLY released, we get this content bypass, which is another "feature" I've long hoped for. So I guess I have to decide if it is better to skip the official update and instead flash the debug version so that I can have the content bypass. Are there others here who are torn up over having to make this choice? If so, what are you thinking right now?

Perfect reason to keep the UserDebug, I know everyone is anxious for the update but probably better to keep a rooted UserDebug and see how it pans out??

yeah, i mean if the debug runs and you have the update handy why not just leave it. i updated, and like it better, the root is nice but it is just so smooth, and everything works flawlessly.

yep, i am on hulu atm

I do have to note that for me the content is not super smooth. If i don't pause and let it buffer it cuts out every couple of seconds. I am on Fios with 25/25 mbps.

Yeah I can't get cbs.com, I might have done something wrong though.
