Bt sport youview setup tv#

The stuff I've read suggests you need a 'new' interface for the WAN (I've called it IPTV_WAN) and I've then set up an IPTV_LAN interface on a spare port in the Opnsense box which is directly connected to the BT TV box. I haven't yet found anyone else who's managed this and is using Opnsense - most of the guides online are on PFsense. I'd really rather avoid using the HH if I can, it seems to defeat the object but interesting how you've got it to work - is this a 'double NAT' situation? As I read it your set up is ONT -> HH -> Opnsense from one port and TV box from another port on the HH? I had an Asus router a while ago which worked brilliantly simply ticking a box in the settings, this is rather more convoluted!! I'm having similar issues but haven't even managed to get the multicast through to my TV box via Opnsense. I spoke to BT earlier and, after running some tests, they couldn't reach a conclusion and wanted to send an engineer out. I am wanting to know if there are any known settings or issues that will cause these streams to continue being sent and whether this can be fixed. Therefore, my firewall is set up to forward these packets to an IPTV interface (shown in the graph above) and then IGMP proxy them to the BT Youview box. I believe the line I am currently using is only rated for 75Mbps which caused my line to become saturated and internet access to become slow (speed tests suggested 1-2Mbps compared to the 75Mbps I am promised).įrom what I can tell, it looks like the BT Youview box doesn't seem to be terminating the connections properly and this is a probable cause of the saturation - leaving the UDP/IGMP streams running and consuming bandwidth.įrom reading BT SIN 511, it appears that the TV streams come in as unencapsulated packets injected from the cabinet. This has been occurring more and more as of recently and last night I saw that there were 3 streams all consuming about 3MB/s (24Mbps) each. I have left some traffic logging running and have captured the following data over the course of an hour or so.Īs the first image indicates, there is a constant stream from the multicast address of 234.81.132.95 This system has been working for a few months without issues but recently I have noticed that some IGMP streams are not terminating properly. I am a FTTC BT customer with a custom home setup involving an Opnsense firewall with IGMP proxying enabled.
