Sorry that was my fault, I should have said in the fist place I was referring to that
90
60
games over three years for Amazon and 384 games over three for Sky which was where the figures came from.
(edited - Amazon have 60 games, not 90.)

It is not "useless". It worked. I note your posts earlier in the the thread that saw you have issues and in fairness Amazon did have issues when they first ventured into this with the tennis but they have largely resolved the bulk of these now and the bulk of the football streams worked happily. I'm sorry they didn't work for you but maybe you should take steps next time to help improve your chances. Wired connections tend to help where available.
It dosent work my TV keeps complaining of a HDCP issue even though it shows other amazon stuff fine.

Are you watching in UHD or HD ? HDCP errors on 2160p50 stuff may be symptomatic of a dodgy HDMI cable not capable of full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth. Most other Amazon stuff is p24 - which will run at lower bandwidth.
I used to get frequent HDCP error reports on a number of devices until I replaced the HDMI cables I was using with low-cost HDMI 2.0 capable (licensed HDMI Premium cables https://www.hdmi.org/spec/premiumcable ) If this is your issue - DO NOT pay silly money for these - they are available in the <£10 range on Amazon.

An internal app complaining about HDCP is very odd (there may not BE any HDCP internally as it's really only used on HDMI,DVI and Displayport connections).
That suggests there's an issue with the app or the LG OS (that's WebOS?) that's causing the issue. Very odd.
Amazon Android apps (not relevant directly to a WebOS TV) are very sensitive in their detection of anything additional in the playback path (nVidia Shield TV refresh rate detection apps trigger HDCP errors on Amazon but not other DRM-ed streaming services like Netflix for instance) - so I guess that may be an issue.
is it consistent across HD and UHD matches?

Hello noggin
It’s the smart tv app on the LG no wires it’s connected directly to the a Virgin router.

So as I thought, it is not an Amazon issue, it is technically a "harshy" issue 
You would do better first of all to check if there is a firmware update for the TV both through the TV itself and the LG website. Sometimes manufacturers issue updates to the software but don't publish them, ie if an issue they fix isn't serious enough to warrant a full-blown update to all supported devices, but if your setup happens to have that issue you can often request them to send you the update file which you can apply manually.

The only time I've ever experienced HDCP issues is with the Now TV 4K Box, I briefly get the HDCP message and then it vanishes. But I'm only outputting 1080p using HDMI 1.4 cables on a FHD tv set.

So I'm not alone with this issue, it occurs with 4K output to 4K devices using pukka high speed HDMI cables too.
