There's something you can run to make it look not rooted, I really can't remember what it's called at the moment.

Rootkeeper is one app that keeps popping up, allows you to dis/enable root on-the-fly.
There's also Sky Go workarounds over on XDA.

Spelled properly and with a capital letter. Did you get your mum to do that for you?

So having a rooted Android device that prevents Sky Go functioning, 'fucks android'; yet having a jailbroken iOS device that also stops Sky Go functioning is fine?
Stop talking shite Lee
As mentioned, like iOS there are workarounds to get Sky Go working on rooted devices.

I think Lee was referring to John's post about it not working on his un-rooted Nexus 4.
It's in the nature of Android that device support will always be something developers have to take more in to account than with iOS.
That said, I've not heard from many users that this poses an actual issue of any significant size...

I found the cause, supersu had been installed from a previous device, uninstalled this and it worked, was my fault.

If that is what Lee meant then my apologies
Still, there's plenty of workarounds so it's a bit of a non-issue.

Apart from having to wait months/years/never for an upate

i mean, ios is slagged for being restrictive etc, but if an app comes out it works. theres that many versions of androids and devices even if an app does come out it may not work on your software version and even if it does it might not work on your combination of hardware and software. things like this seem to be overlooked by android fanboys because they can have widgets and moving wallpapers

Android offers about 10% more customisation than iOS without root (equivilent of jailbreak) so this whole 'android is WAY more customisable' thing is massively overstated.

This is what i had read was a work around but a lot of issues with going back to root.
