Well took delivery off £200's worth of new equipment today to replace the hub and now find its incapable of being used with BT TV...

Words cannot describe how much stress I'm under at the moment, so looks like I'll have to return everything and request a new home hub and maybe downgrade to ADSL when my contracts up.....

indeed...

Most new routers should support IGMP Multicast these days. Are you sure yours don't?

Well mine supposedly supports IPTV... but just looked online and folk o BT's forums are saying its not supported

I'm not a fan of the HH's.

Imho it's better to get a modem from a well known auction site, either an ECI or Huawei.

Then setup a good router behind it. I'm using the RT-N66U

I already own a HG612...

I have a PS4 and I've never had to open any ports for the PS4, whether that be for PSN or the games (GTA Online).

Have you setup your Xbox with a static IP address?

Hmm, Yeah what a surprise, Playstation always seems to work... tempted to ditch the Xbox to be honest... and yes the Xbox is setup with static, all my devices are...

I've setup port forwarding for xbox many times before so I can be sure I know what I'm doing, just this pesky hub giving me [censored]..

The Xbox should work seamlessly if you have UPNP enabled. Never had to configure port forwarding on the HH for my brother in law when I set his up, did it all itself with UPNP, I'd make a back up of your settings and then factory restore the HH.

After last nights factory reset the xbox did start showing a 'moderate' NAT but whilst Xbox Live services still worked my game did not...

After a short time of trying to get online on my game and giving up I checked back again and the NAT setting had gone back to strict, I did another factory reset but got same thing...

I've now just factory reset the hub again as I've no had to put that back on and box up the gear brought today...

I'm not even bothering with the xbox!

and the hub continues to be the biggest [censored] on the face of this damned earth.....

I feel sorry for the guy who's calling me back on Monday because I will be passing the absolute fury I'm feeling right now on to him....

I think I'm going to be calling for termination of my contract as at the moment I can't even listen to some damned music.... the whole experience with BT has been a never-ending headache and I'm sure its going to continue to be a pain for the foreseeable future also...

My message to those thinking of joining BT.... avoid it... avoid it.... avoid it.....

It's not the Xbox at fault. I'd say it's the home hub having huge issues. Do you have more than one Xbox on your network?

Did you set the Xbox's static IP address at the router or the console? People reporting that if the Xbox One is set to anything manual in the Settings > Network > Advanced screen that it will struggle to connect properly with a HH5.

Sky to BT causes Xbox blocked

I can assure you I've done the setup of the xbox properly and yes I know its the HH at fault....
