Error message on new TB

We've just replaced our TV and are getting the following message when we turn the sky box on: This screen does not support HDCP. Try reconnecting your HDMI cable, or use a different screen. I spoke to the LG technical team as reconnecting the HDMI cable makes no difference and they have said that it is a Sky issue not a TV issue. Any  ideas?

Have you tried another HDMI cable @JDH49?

Using the same able that was plughe'd into the old TV and there was no issue then. It's theHDMI cable that came with the sky box. Bit of a coincidence if it's stopped working just as we replace the TV!

If the cable was working fine on the old TV then it would seem to indicate the new TV is the issue...

Spoke to LG technical team and they are adamant that the issue is with the box/sky.

Well of course - that's how technical support works.  If you speak to Sky they'll be adamant it's an LG issue...

 

I presume you've ensured the LG firmware is fully up to date?  And tried all HDMI inputs?

 

What video settings is the Sky box outputting?

Hi @JDH49 

Have you tried rebooting the television.

Disconnect power lead for 30 secs and then reconnect to reboot the television.
