I would recommend this. Works very well, but you need to read it carefully, understand, and follow the steps to the letter > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130996

Not sure. Good point.
I could buy the movie but not play it before. Have any of the upgrades changes this since the xoom first came out?
Is there any hacks to get movies to work if they are currently not supported on the rooted xooms?
It's not root that does it. It checks to see if your bootloader is unlocked.

So you are saying you still cannot download and play movies unlocked and rooted?
Not from google movies.

Yes that's correct.
Ok. So I don't have to down grade it to root it later? I read some of the tread that you have to be on a certain ice update not sure its true or not

What version of HC are you on? You don't need to upgrade to ICS and then downgrade back to HC to root. You can root HC and use OTA Rootkeeper to carry Root all the way through ti latest version of ICS.
3.2.1 . Build number 8.6.5.2.1 20111216

That looks like a slider model?
Since you are on the last HC incremental build, you should be able to use ViperMod. It is in the Development section. Download that to your PC and run it according to the OP. IIRC, you have to use Option 1 for the TF-Honeycomb build. Once you have root, then go to the market and get OTA Rootkeeper. Install that and make sure it saves Root. Then install a Root app like Titanium and make sure it works. Then use OTA Rkpr to Temp Unroot and take the OTAs. Then finally once you are up-to-date with the latest ICS build (.27 is the last number of it), go back into OTA Rkpr and restore root.
One thing that I have found it that the latest version of OTA Rootkeeper will not save a backup of SU in /system/xbin (this caused me a problem with an app yesterday). What you want to do is get a file explorer like Root Explorer and copy the su from /system/bin and paste it in /system/xbin and you should be good to go.
And one final thing, if you have a custom recovery like Rogue or TWRP, the OTA will not succeed, nor will it if you delete any apps from /system/app. For thatI used Titanium Backup Pro and just Forze the bloat. When a new build comes out, I just defrost and take it, the re-freeze.
What is the slider model? Sorry for noob question

That is why I asked you what build you are on. Razerclaw (.13) only works on earlier builds of HC, whereas ViperMod works on the later versions (.19+).
Could always try Razerclaw. At worst it will let you install it and then once you run it, it should throw an error. I used ViperMod when I got mine b/c I stupidly updated before I knew about Razerclaw (this was before ICS came out). ViperMod is really eay. Just install it on your PC, install the drivers and run it. Takes less than 5 mins to do.
I googled that build number you provided and it came up as a slider version, so that is why I asked.
Edit: OK I just looked around a bit more and your build number isn't 8.6.5.2.1 but rather 8.6.5.21. So you are on build .21. Then you need to use ViperMod and use the directions I post in the other post and this one and you shoudl be good to go.
I had the prime before but sold it do to wifi issued. I rooted the prime before using viper. Is it the same process

Yes. Only for this one it is Option 1.
If you somehow lose Root when you get to the first ICS build (.11 I think it was), you can still use ViperMod but you'll have to use Option 3 then.
Good luck and let us know.

They are one in the same. If you used it before then you should be familiar. Exact same program.
What do I do if the computer doesn't recognize the tf.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Means you probably don't have the drivers installed or still have the ones from your Prime days.
I still have the prime driver on the laptop. Do I need to remove it

But will it work for the Family Edition Xoom? It has a locked bootloader and has slightly different software.
