          I know this is an old topic now, but has anyone tried this recently, on 2.4.4? As it doesnt seem to be working for me

            Not sure if its significant, but I keep seeing lots of 'IGMP message is from myself, ignoring,' and 'IGMP Multicast was local, ignoring' messages in the system log, and a cap on the IPTV_WAN interface, is showing basically no traffic

                1. Add the extra interfaces
                2. Enable IGMP proxy & configure
                3. Set interface IP's & configure firewall rules

                Just like above.

                  @perlenbacher Yes, sorry for not getting back quicker. I had it all set right in pf. It looks like the Draytek 130 modem I had in front of it wasnt passing the traffic through correctly. Put an old openreach modem in front instead, and it all sprang to life with the pf config I got from here. So not a pfsense issue. Thanks for confirming that it works for you though :)

                    This is how you set the Vigor 130 for BT multicast IPTV:

                      @perlenbacher Thanks. I did get the draytek working after that, by switching it to MPoA, rather than PPPoE as it is by default, but it was still a little strange. The IPTV interfaces in pf both reported around double the traffic level with the draytek as they do with the openreach modem. it should be between 25-30mbps for the BT 4k stream, which is what pf shows with openreach modem, with the draytek, it reports 50-60mbps, and definitely seems to show more signs of picture breakup. So just back to using openreach one for the moment

                        I followed this guide to the t and I still could not get my BT box to even connect to the internet.

                        I eventually found it was because of IPv6. I disabled the DHCP server for IPv6 and changed my LAN interface to have "none2 for the IPv6 config type.

                        I hope this helps someone :)
