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 Pcfarrar.. I managed to get the R7000 working by installthe the xvortex firmware which now works a treat. Quite a painless upgrade. The firmware is based on the Asus firmware, so i guess the Asus would work as well.

xvortex firmware looks ok but I notice its not completely stable...
It should be very straightfoward for Netgear to add support to the existing R7000 firmware.

I have found it stable tbh, although only been using it a week. I think it would be straightforward and i can't understand why it doesnt do it already. There is a beta firmware for the D7000 which turns this feature on, so I guess that the R7000 will follow, but Netgear support appear to have no idea about anything.
I am not sure i will go back to netgear firmware even when this is released
