Orbi IGMP BT Youview multicast IPTV
Hi, Bought this 400£ system supposed to stream 4K and I am still under shock that it doesn't support BT IGMP. Is there a workaroung ? Is this coming soon ???
Yes, I have exactly that setup. Vigor 130, Orbi in router mode and BT TV. I don't have their UHD service though. It all works with the latest beta firmware.
Overall things are fairly stable. I still get some dropouts on my iPad occasionaly and streaming to the iPad can be slow when it's connected to the satellite. It's the new iPad Pro 10.5 so might be something specific to that. All the other various devices in the house (mix of android and iOS) seem fine.
The only thing that doesnt work is the Parental Controls. That's frustrating but not a deal breaker as I'm manually using OpenDNS and have setup some scheduled blocking in the Orbi config.
nice one - thanks. If I can get that bit working at least then I will feel happier... I think the UHD stuff should work once the multicast is working, main difference will be the higher bitrate.
1.12.0.18 has just been released so will try it tonight. finger's crossed on the dropouts
New 1.12.0.18 firmware solved the problem - I now have the Orbi in router mode and multicast is working :smileyvery-happy:
are you streaming bt tv in HD flawlessly ? And 4k ?
I get 50Mbs on my phone, but the TV box connected to my orbi satellite does not allow me do have a decent stream in HD
has been OK so far - 4k stuttered when I switched on BT-sport-4k but stabilised within seconds and was perfectly fine from then onwards.
My BT-TV is hardwired into the Orbit router with a cat6 cable. I think it may struggle with 4K TV to the satellite - it's known not to work over powerline and BT recommend a direct connection to the router.
