IPTV Being Blocked
I actually have THe Orbi Router RBR20. It is connected to my ISP (local Coop). I also have the ONN android tv box and have been using it with the A1IPTV (nocable.cc) service for 6 months or so. I hav...
It is a Calix GigaPoint 803G with a fiber line coming into the house. I just want to point out that my actual system is a Orbi RBR20 and since I have narrowed it down to the router, I am concerned that if I buy another Netgear system that I will run into the same problem. I bought the Orbi because of the mesh capabilities and would prefer to not lose that. To recap, the IPTV was funning fine on my existing system for 8 or 9 months so nothing should have changed. I am using an Onn Android TV box and all the other apps on the box work fine. If I use my phone as a hotspot and connect my Onn box to that hotspot it works (using cell service as a source and not WiFi). I have the same ISP and TV box at my shop (different router but same fiber modem) on the other side of town (small town of 700 people) and that system works.
I really appreciate your help with this mess.
Still confusing.
What you designate as IPTV - in my reading this fancy A1+IPTV app (correct?) - is probably yet another application like for example YouTube - as such it's technically unrelated to the dedicated VLAN based ICMP Muticast (live) TV.
Or are you using an IPTV Box by (or for) implemented by your ISP, like Calix does for hundreds of IPTV providers, like your small Coop mentioned, and using an IPTV VLAN as designated by your ISP?
The same applies when using a mobile hotspot. Unlikely there is ICMP based Multicast involved. Even on advanced 5G networks here, we don't have any Multicast based IPTV. All live and VOD is coming in by UDP Unicast over the carrier mobile network.
I'm sorry but I don't know what any of that means. I did go buy a new Netgear NightHawk router and my IPTV works now.
