Found the answer on a Virgin media forum and it WORKED immediately. If you have the snipping tool open the Sky app will not work. You will get a few seconds of blurry streaming then the error VGC-4253 appears on a black screen.
I closed the snipping tool which was open and the sky app viewer worked perfectly, even at full screen.
