BT TV In the UK. about udm-kernel-tools

@bfayers Glad to hear that you got it working. My only suggestion for improving stability is to run the IPTV traffic over a separate VLAN (if you haven't done so).

Also, as a suggestion, since (beta) firmware version 1.11.0 you don't need to run a custom kernel anymore to route multicast traffic.

👍 I'm already running the IPTV traffic over a separate VLAN, as for 1.11.0, I was just going to wait until that went stable and then remove the custom kernel and go from there.

As for now, HD channels seem to be working since my broadband brought itself back up to 50Mbps!

Similar to #25 I needed an IP on the wan (eth9) interface, not on the ppp1 interface.

Found via: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/118851/multicast-iptv-igmpproxy-issues-bt-tv-bt-sport-4k/2?_=1632855454838&lang=en-GB

added with: ip addr add 10.20.30.1 dev eth9
and changed the IPTV_WAN_INTERFACE="eth9"

Works great.... except for HD channels, which are a scrambled mess.

Would also appear that it's not... stable? After a few minute it seems the only channel that works is the "BT TV Preview" channel (Channel 330) -- on further inspection, this may not be fault of igmpproxy. I'm only getting 3Mbps right now, just my luck for it to slow down right in the middle of testing.
