Cannot speak to DD-WRT and IPTV but the latest XVortex firmware supports IPTV and is reported to work. Of course there is the question of will this work with your supplier?

Runs very well on my r7000.
--billAnd we have a fix!!!! Flashed the CFW, quick reboot of the router and a bit of higgery jiggery - working YouView with IPTV enabled.
Here is a note in case others stumble accross this forums and fall into the same hurdle. These are the settings you need once you have flashed the CFW:
You must configure 'Enable VPN + DHCP Connection' to 'No' under the WAN option.
Settings used were:
- Have router on the latest firmware: 3.0.0.4.374.130
- Use the following settings in LAN > IPTV:
- 'Select ISP Profile' = None
- 'Choose IPTV STB Port' = None
- 'Use DHCP routes' = Microsoft
- 'Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy) = Enable
- 'Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping) = Enable
- 'UDB Proxy (Udpxy) = 0
I hope this proves use for others in future and thanks for your assistance all.

Hi folks. Looks like I'm in the same boat with Talktalk. I'm running the Netgear R7000 on firmware v1.0.5, rather than stock TT router. Broadband fine and most Youview channels, but having just signed up for Sky Sports boost, I can't access those channels.
So, question is, did the green fix here work for the Netgear R7000, or another sort? Thanks in advance.

SORTED IT !!!
This is extremely simple (well...for my particular situation....Talktalk broadband / Netgear R7000 router / Sky Sports channels not working / error IPC6023).
Using firmware - V1.0.5.48_1.1.79.
Click on "Advanced"->"Setup"->"WAN Setup"
Deselect "Disable IGMP Proxying"Tick "Support British Telecom[BT} IGMP Proxying"
Click "Apply"
Router saved settings. Youview box didn't even have to be reset! Sky sports channels streaming through loud and clear!Phew!!!
Just hope others find this post before considering flashing to a different firmware!!
Now my next challenge on the 'R7000 to-do list'....why on earth are my port-forwards not working? Must be something obvious hidden away somewhere! Will pick up another thread for that one ;-)
