Do you need to root an android box before purchasing and downloading the app? Could you just download an apk, e.g. xciptv? Just wondering what are the benefits to rooting the box?

My experience is that if you purchase/own a generic Android box (those cheaper Chinese Android boxes) it is already rooted. But as already mentioned no need to root for IPTV.
Rooting can be needed when using apps that need control of your machine, like a powerful ad-blocker or apps that tweak/mod your system.
It is not needed at all for IPTV, you can just install any IPTV app and use it without root.
If you're looking for a good IPTV client, i highly recommend Tivimate, look it up and download from trusted sources only.
