As part of the 2021/22 football season contract, we were required to move to secure video streams to reduce video piracy. All clients moved across last year, including the Android app.
We turned off the insecure video streams last week, and it turns out Amazon devices were still using them due to a bug in the app.
There are a few older and/or lower powered Android devices that stopped supporting BT Sport as a result of the move last year. This is unavoidable. I believe the same will be true of the lower powered Amazon tablets - they might still work, but video may become jumpy, or drop to a lower quality. Newer tablets will cope fine.
As things stand, we're in a grey area - Amazon tablets aren't supported, but the app works if users choose to manually install the Google Play Store on them. We may be contractually required to block this from working in future, but for now we're leaving it open.
