Unable to get IPTV working
-
Hi, I recently replaced an UBNT EdgeRouter-X with a pfSense router due to the lousy and unstable IPv6 support in the edgerouter. I have gotten the lan working fine with dualstack networking and a stable prefix, however I'm strugling with getting IPTV to work. I'm using the Norwegian ISP Altibox and my TV box requires access both to the ISPs IPTV network and to the internet. I have two WAN interfaces (WAN and WAN_IPTV) VLAN 102 and 101 on the same fibre link. I have two LAN interfaces, LAN (192.168.1.0/24) and LAN_IPTV (10.0.0.1/24). IGMP Proxy is set up with WAN_IPTV as upstream and LAN_IPTV as downstream. Package dumps for LAN_IPTV and WAN_IPTV.
I have static routes for 172.21.0.0/16 and 10.133.0.0/16 through WAN_IPTV.Anyone able to figure out what is wrong? (Duplicate post in Norwegian in the Norwegian forum)

Hi,
is behind the pfSense firewall a switch and there is the IPTV box connected to? If so you may need a switch that is also supporting your doing. Together with Telekom MagentaTV here in Germany there where many problems with switches and igmpv3 snooping! The only good ones that are working out of the box were;
- Netgear GS108tv3
- Cisco SG300/SG350
with other you got often frozen pictures and or hanging
between the switching over to another channel. -
No, i've removed any switches between the router and the tv-box. Had it working fine with my old router.
Anyways, we figured out that we didn't really miss it much, as we mostly stream stuff anyways. So, I gave up and canceled my TV-subscription and instead increased my bw to 750mbps.
