Be careful. It's been reported that you can RENT movies (i.e. pay for them), but you can't actually WATCH them if your phone is rooted. I have not confirmed this personally.

Oh okay, I don't have a problem updating my applications, they update automatically. I'll try a google search to see if I can help you guys.

I threw 3 bones to the cause. Paid for a movie, installed video app and got "unable to play on rooted device ". Meh, I got Netflix in its place. ROOTED SIMPLY HONEY 3.9.1 GB 2.3.4

Thank you very much

I just downloaded the apk and installed it and I must say it looks WAY better than the old market UI, especially on the Trigger rom I'm running on.

You're welcome guys, I think I have found an answer to the not being able to update applications. If you have updates for apps you've installed manually you won't be able to update the application. The manually installed applications still show up in the "My Apps" section of the market.
And a fix for watching movies

you can rent the movie with a rooted device...you just can't watch it (but you can with this trick)
open terminal on phone
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/mu
close terminal and you will be able to watch rented movies on your rooted device
to revert open terminal
Code:
mu
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su
google movie looks for su by name, easy work around because naming it to mu you still have suid, but rooted apps (as well as google movie) are looking for su "name" as well..with the terminal you can tell it suid is mu
gsript doesn't work on this because it too looks for su on the revert
you can copy the code to a notepad and paste it in terminal so you don't have to type every time

Anyway you can post the previous market apk file in case we want to convert back? Or is there another way to do that?

If you're on CM7 you can flash Gapps. Or you can extract the vending.apk from CM7 gapps.
