I can watch videos fine but anything live, not a chance.
deleted...reinstalled, cleared all app data, followed all guides on previous issues with this on here.

Hi @LEEEVANS69
That's normally an error with Sky Sports due to using a VPN (even VPN browser extensions that you may not know are active) or having snipping tool/screen capture programs, or in some cases chat windows, teams etc that can take screenshots/videos open.
When you removed the app data did you also remove the hidden files and folders the desktop app uses?
- Uninstall the Sky Sports Player app
- Type 'run' in the search bar and open the 'Run' app
- Type in '%AppData%' and click 'OK'
- Delete the 'Sky Sports' folders
- Click back on 'AppData' and go into the 'LocalLow' folder
- Click on the 'Cisco' folder, then the 'VideoGuard' folder
- Delete the 'SKY_GB-SKY_SKYSPORTS' folder
- Restart you computer
- Download the Sky Sports Player app again

Have the same problem. Been working fine until last two days. VPN is off and have installed, cleared cookies and folders and actioned the LOCALLOW and AppData deletion solutions. Still the same..
