[Q] Rooted vs Unrooted Android Tv box RK3188

[studentu005]

Hi Guys ,

Maybe this is a silly question but what is the difference between a rooted TV box and unrooted box?
More channels ?
Is it worth it to pay more for a rooted box ?

I want to get one but not sure which one.Please help me.Thanks

the same with any android device, you get access to admin functions so you can mess with options that regular users generarlly dont need to mess with.
like make writeable the /system folder so you can add (or remove) device drivers, config files, etc.
its required by some app like titanium backup and droidmote server or (for eg.) to make an init.d script that load at start your nas movie folder as a local folder via ntfs.

so is nothing to do with free TV programs.The advert of the Tv box I want to buy it says Unlocked Free tv programs.Are the programs free because of the box being unlocked.

Thanks for reading this guys

maybe he's installing some cracked app, dunno - generally most tv-providers apps (like hulu+, netflix etc) are root-aware and stop working when they found root enabled so its the other way around.
but you generally can root any device by yourself, beware of people that ask you money to do that.

How can you root a tv box? I've tried i root, kingo root, one click root etc. None of them work.

Hi from me too!
I have the opposite question. How to unroot this device when the application does not need root and nothing that i have tried didn't work.

Thank you
