Thank you so much for the explanation.

Hi,

I have updated to 08, but the HG612 still shows 06 firmware.

Can anyone suggest why ?

Probably because you tried to do the upgrade via the HG612 web interface. Although this may appear to be successful, it doesn't actually work. With this type of firmware you have to do the upgrade using the power up (asbokid) method.

Hi Eric,

Could I have a link to the method if you have time.

Rgds.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone running B030SP08 is having problems with Youview/multicast? I was using an ECI modem, which worked absolutely fine (well, apart from dropping over 10Mb/s sync due to G.INP ). Bought a HG612 and unlocked/flashed it using the normal procedure, this restored the lost sync and download speed, but now I'm having lots of picture breakup on the multicast Youview channels. I've found posts elsewhere which suggest turning on IGMP snooping, which I've done, but it's not made any difference

Router I'm using is an ASUS DSL-N55U, which also has snooping enabled on the wifi side, but nothing to select on the ethernet side (although as I say it wasn't a problem before on the ECI modem).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Rich

P.S. Having the modem unlocked isn't essential for me, unless it's the only way to fix G.INP.

On a slightly associated note, does anyone know if  BT just turn G.INP on and the HG612 shows its enabled, or do you have do do a resynch to see if its enabled.

Alternatively is anyone from BT reading and can let us know about the rollout progress on G.INP, its all very secretive and I cannot see why.

when it was enabled on my cab the modem resynced itself.

Hi Rich and welcome

Wolfies f/w was based on standard f/w and he wouldnt have changed anything which would have affected IGMP. The f/w should work because it would be expected to work with BTVision.   Which version of the HG612 do you have?  One of the older hardware versions did cause problems with BTVision.

There may be some additional settings in the HG612, but afaik (and I could be wrong) I thought that would be down to your router - however the fact that you can use it with an ECI seems to negate that.    I dont use a HG612 so atm Im afraid I dont know what settings are available. 

I'm pressuming that you have the new PN YouView and I dont think yet anyone knows which routers it works on or not and if it has different settings to the BT Youview (although I wouldnt think it should).

Sorry theres a lot of shoulds in the above but Im not sure what to suggest.

Does anyone know how to tell with the latest firmware if vectoring is switched on ?

Hi Kitz,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The modem is the 3B version. I've since found that the YV box (and yes it's on the PN service) was at the time doing 2 HD recordings, one from the air and another from an internet channel, whilst I was watching yet another HD internet channel. I wonder if the box or my connection was reaching some internal limitation...

More experimentation required - it seems to have behaved itself, in the main, since.

* The ECI issue may have been a coincidence!

Hi

Thanks for getting back to us.  Glad that youve got it sorted

I've just had my SP10 HG612 replaced with an SP06 model.

Does this mean this model is older?
