Re: New Digital TV Boxes and IGMP Proxy
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. 😄 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!8.4KViews2likes2CommentsNew 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 completely remove the Telus router from my network and instead I am using the Unifi alone with an IGMP Proxy enabled on a separate VLAN. I have my current Arris Optik boxes and the PVR on my managed switches and don't need another network in my house. With that being said, I have just filled out the form for the new Digital TV boxes that will replace these in a few days. Does anyone know how these work compared to the old ones? I'm thinking they're now just "smart" devices that connect to the internet and don't need some IGMP proxy and firewall rules to allow them to talk to the PVR in my basement? There is no more home PVR, so it should be less of an effort. Bottom line, I hope I don't need to blow the dust off my Actiontec T3200M for these new boxes. If anyone knows in advance, that'd be great to hear. I will definitely update this forum post once I get the boxes!Solved8.6KViews1like8Comments
