gg77,
Thank you for the info and like you I don't understand why Sky Go refuses to run. The SoC of your Tab is just below the SoC on my YT2 10.1 and above the SG Tab 3 10.1.
The Tab is not rooted by default and I can find no end of Custom ROMS to Root it and the odd 1 or 2 to unroot these ROMs.
Why more and more devices are giving false positives on Root is a mystery unless the app permission have been adjusted by the Go time for a reason we don't know about. I'm not aware of this but there again being a customer I'm on the outside looking in lol. Sky are aware of this problem:--

Sam-R posted the above which I read when he did but on reading it again there is nothing about having a false positive result or what Sky are doing about this issue. I'll try and see if I can get any info from the team.
