Sky Q won’t turn on and shows HDCP error.

Ever since I've upgraded to Sky Q, I've had issues with turning it on. Sometimes, it doesn't even turn on and the fans get loud on the box and the Q is illuminated blue and spinning. Then when it does turn on unpredictabley, it shows an error message. 

"This screen does not support HDCP.

Try reconnecting your HDMI cable, or use a different screen". I've tried everything, multiple different HDMIs. And I can't keep turning it off and on, any help would be great, thanks.

Is this an LG? Is the software on it updated?
