I need a bit of advice around my Static I.P.

For as long as I can remember I have been using a Static I.P. for when I was Cardsharing, and now it's almost been replaced by IPTV, I was wondering if it's worth still paying DynDNS for the service as I only watch Racing UK on my VU Solo 2.

And I am about to start using an IPTV service.

So my question is do I just go back to Dynamic I.P. ?

Every item in my house is set up to Static I.P. about 30 I would say (3 iphones, 2 ipads, 1 iMac, PC, X-Box, PS4, Sly Box, 2 Smart TV's) the list goes on.

I'm using a Home Hub 5....So what would you recommend Static/Dynamic ?

And seeing as it has been so long since I set the router up to Static, what would I need to do to go back to Dynamic ?

Please advise.

Thanks, as always.

Yes.......They are both back on for me......Strange, although it has happened in the past.

Thanks for looking.

Are those the correct frequencies in the screen dump below, can another member confirm if they are clearing or not.

Many thanks.

Nothing clearing at all with Racing UK HD or Racing UK SD.

Has it gone ?

Thanks for that.......I found it after another scan.

Has At The Races gone black ?

I have tried a re-scan to no avail.

Many Thanks.

Thanks for that, I thought it had gone, just done a re-scan and it's back.

Are you sure At The Races is still working ?

Sent you my details via P.M.

Is your PayPal the same as your email address ?

Mine is, just send me an email and I'll reply with my home address.

Thanks.

I'll give you £40, can I PayPal you when I get home from work at 15:00 this afternoon.

Thanks.

Thanks for that, I might as well stay with a DNS as you say.
And just change my Router from a HH5 to a NETGEAR D7000-100UKS Nighthawk.

Thanks for all the advice.

Lets see if I have this correct, I get a Static I.P. for my iMac....Yes..?
Currently everything on my Network have Static I.P. Addresses....Apple TV, Popcorn Hour, Smart TV, X Box One, VU Solo2, my Son's Laptop, iMac and all the iPhones/iPad's in the house.
So what would I need to do if I obtained a Static I.P. from BT to allow all these things to work ?
And also how would I stream the VU+ Player app outside my Network.

Thanks for the help and sorry for coming across so amateur.

Just had a look at this page on BT website.

So how many Static I.P. addresses would I need (just 1 for the PC ?)
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to Networking, Port forwarding and Static I.P. related issues.

Thanks for that, I'll look into that option.

Okay Codar thanks for that, my next question is would BT give me a Static I.P.

Many thanks.

Thanks for that Master G, but what about VU+ Player app on my iPhone for streaming outside my Network.

Not really been Card Sharing for a while apart from a line from a work mate for Sly and a Setanta one from a friend of a friend in Ireland.
Any way what I intend doing is maybe trying IPTV.
I'm also fancying a new Router, thinking about this to replace my HH5.......With a NETGEAR D7000-100UKS Nighthawk AC1900.
However I still intend to use my VU Solo in my bedroom to watch all the SD channels, I also use VU+ Player app on my iPhone when I'm out and about.
I don't reshare anything anymore due to my heavy workload.
Now my question is do I still need my DynDNS account ? and also do I need to port forward all the ports on my new router like I currently forward on my HH5 ?
Also.......Do I still need all my connected devices on Static I.P's

Sorry for the long winded question.

I had the HH5 and changed to a netgear duo band and I've had no problems
since with buffering and dropouts.

I also have infinity fibre optic option 2

What Netgear model do you have ?

For people to give you an idea on router choices you need to specify are you connected with ADSL or Fibre, as the Routers with VDSL(Fibre) are a little more limited than with ADSL

I'm currently on BT Infinity 2 Fibre Optic.

Thank you.
