Does sideloading affect certification?

by Testing_things_out

Just got a CCWGTV. Huuuge improvements from my TV's builtin AndroidTV.

I'm wondering if sideloading app would invalidate the certification for Netflix/Disney+/etc... Or anything else that might invalidate them.

it's not a perfect system... specially since bad apps slip thru the cracks all the time even if they are certified. so it's really up to u n ur sources
