Nice one

well this is response from asus

Because if you setup correctly with the router and your IPTV, your IPTV could work with the router normally. Now your IPTV could not work with the router since you setup correctly. This may be the compatible issue between them. 

Their support is appauling

Here's my experience trying to get my youview, Blu-ray player and BT sports to work with my RT-N66U via this setup:

1. RT-N66U plugged into Infinity modem

2. On router running the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.372.1393) go into router settings>LAN>IPTV and make sure "Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy)" and "Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping)" are enabled (dont know if both are necessary but it works) while "Use DHCP routers" is set to "Microsoft" and apply.

3. BT supplied homeplug (came when I ordered infinity/youview) plugged into router.

4. In another rooom, other homeplug plugged into old router (WAG320N) which also supports IGMP (I tried one without it (Sky Sagem) and it didn't work), a switch may work but I don't have a spare one to try.

5. Plugged into youview and both it and the blu-ray player work.

I also tried the same setup but with a wifi adapter instead of homeplugs and it didn't work. So far though everything seems to be working by doing the above.

Looks like I'll have to try mine again.

The only difference in my setup is that I use multi-port homeplugs.

Are you saying all on demand works as well? Did you have to set any IPTV settings. Ie lan configuration

[tech3475]

In my case ive tried something from everything but nowtv and milkshake. Although I only have basic bt vision so I could only try something free.

The only thing I didnt mention in my previous post was that I disabled the dhcp server on the old router but besides thats I merely enabled some igmp settings.

thanks - just trying now - I was on the earlier release of firmware and litterally Asus have been looking at this for about 3 weeks and that was their answer - Did you leave UDP Proxy at 0 and Ports to None within the IPTV settings

[tech3475]

yes.

Just updated to latest firmware

And it still don't work - get the error IPC 6023 and test channel don't work either

On demand works fine through the TP-Link as well
