BBC Multicasting?

Has this been switched off at the BBC?
I tried testing it at the website but its not working. Not sure if it is
them or my router settings or what.

This is the service I am referring to...

You might get some joy if you look in the plusnet.customer.feedback
group and/or use the customer web forum, search for multicast(ing)
as I have certainly seen a list of routers which are known to
work, though mine were not listed. Peter M.

Oh so its a router thing?
My router has a setting for "enable IGMP multicast", would that be relevant?

Thanks Peter, had not quite managed to get to the discussion forums on the

True, but how was I supposed to know which ISP you were with.

On a related topic.
I assume BT does not support multicast, to reduce the traffic on BT
centrals?

You weren't to know, I was just clarifying it :-)
