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.

EDIT: So sorry pcfarrar My comment was intended for @snowmatt That was the objective anyway.. I run it on two r7000's. But you're right, whatever works for you. Asus. Netegear. Your call..

Hi there!
I am trying to follow up with the threads and would like to say that I am also looking forward to have the IPTV feature in the R7000. Like some you mentioned I am also getting the IPTV from my internet provider but can´t use my R7000 anymore. It is a nice router and I would hate to have to buy another expensive one. Netgear should please its customers to keep them loyal.... in my opinion!
I have heard that netgear will be addressing this in an upcoming firmware for their routers. I dont know if this is true but i read that someone form netgear confirmed it..
