BT TV IGMP Proxying on RS700?
Is a rep able to confirm whether or not this feature should be working on the rs700? I have an EE TV subscription that is delivered using BT's (UK ISP) multicast implentation, and with the RS700 ...

Thanks to bobbyp, he helped us discover a firmware issue and we have fixed it for the BT TV streaming function.
We will watch if bobbyp will run into other TV streaming issues. The fix will be included in the a future firmware release.

Hello bobbyp ,
I am also interesting about the IPTV multicast streaming, is the EE TV the same as "BT TV"?
You mentioned that there are other Netgear products working reports in other discussion threads, which products work with EE TV?
zeuss - Yes, EE TV is the same as BT TV by all intents.
Outside of my current RS700 situation, I have no personal experience of getting Netgear kit working with BT Multicast streams; I'm basing my statements on what I've seen online, e.g: -
Nighthawk AX12 working
Nighthawk r9000 working (with caveats)
Orbi 963 not working

The Orbi (as of writing any model and version) does not support IGMP Multicast handling on and through the network.
Very different, eg. all Plus, Smart Managed, and Managed switches as well as the WAC5xx and WAX6xx wireless access points can be configured to support IGMP Multicast by the selected VLAN.
