Thanks, Tom

Not 100% sure - but think you can only if you live in the USA. As Google have restrictions on different content depending on the country you access it from. If you used a US proxy server you might get around this, also you might need to change a few things on the tablet too.

I love a fix, especially when it is legal to do it:
Not everyone knows, but Amazon store give away a free app a day, but only if you live in the US.

hide root with supersu

Can you get supersu to work? It just sits there refreshing when I run it.

I know it ounds odd, but first use superuser to enable root, then try super su. Delete superuser after. Then use spuersu. Once you delete su. Its deleted forever until you download it again using superuser.

Nice one suggsy89, worked a treat. Here's what I had to do (for anyone who tries and gets stuck ) :-

Installed superuser by chainsdd https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... android.su
Ran superuser -> preferences -> SU binary check for updates -> update

Installed Super Su by chainfire https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... re.supersu

Uninstalled superuser. Super SU started working fine. Thanks again suggsy.

@zorba thanks for the feedback

No worries!
Turns out that Sky Go would still only play Sky News for me. I will hack around further this week.

In the mean time I have installed TV Catch Up (the Android app beta but also a shortcut to the tablet website version) and I'm going to install FilmOn which is pretty neat too.
