New Digital TV Boxes and IGMP Proxy
Hello, this is a question for fellow home nerds and any telus reps looking at the forum. I have a Unifi Dream Machine pro router in my house and take pride in managing my own network. I'm able to co...
Received my new boxes yesterday and proceeded to hook them up in place of the older ones. I initially used the same VLAN ports and had no issues with viewing television.
I have now just moved 2 of them to my normal home VLAN with IGMP Snooping turned on and my IGMP Proxy disabled. I am happy to report zero issues.
These are just nice android TV boxes with a Telus TV+ App! Thank you Telus for modernizing!
Now the only thing I miss is being able to record what I just watched. đ If my tv was on a news program and I caught a story I want my wife to see, I could push record and it would start from when I tuned to that channel. Now it only starts the moment I push record... Minor thing, but so far my only complaint!
I too hope that you will add to the community and provide the settings used (if modified from the out-of-the-box default settings of the Ubiquiti router. I have the "old" boxes (I actually received and tried the "new" boxes but returned them since the new Telus AndroidTV UI is quite a downgrade from the old Telus/AndroidTV UI - the old problem of Android/Google of adding utility in one area in an upgrade but taking away utility in other areas - unless one thinks that more in your face advertising is adding to ones utility and quality of life of course, I am not one to make judgments - your money/your choice). Anyway Moderators please keep this thread alive until the question of how Optik TV (old) can work with third party routers far more capable than the standard fare routers that Telus provide as part of the contract.
