    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.

    And 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.

Well, i thought it would work either that way or using vlans. Using the bridge setup did partially work, and enabled iptv to be broadcast (although intermittant), the youview box could not access the internet, just the IPTV part. So things like netflix, iplayer etc did not work.

If IPTV worked, then the box was able to obtain an IP address, so Internet should have worked, too.  Strange that it did not.  Oh well.  Thanks for trying.
