IPTV over Cisco 877

Hello people,

Not sure how many of you out there have tried this, but I can't find too much discussion about this. As the title suggests I am trying to get IPTV working on a Cisco 877. Surely, this can be done using a Cisco, sick of using the g@y siemens modem.
I have got it somewhat working and I think it can contact the server, but for some reason, just don't get the stream. I can get the free view channels working and it doesn't come up with the error saying can't contact server at the start.

Here is the relevant part of the cisco config (Comments in Bold):

bridge irb -Enables Bridge group Virtual interface
!
!
interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
no atm ilmi-keepalive
dsl operating-mode auto
!
interface ATM0.1 point-to-point - This is to get data going
description ATM For Internet
no snmp trap link-status
pvc 0/38
encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
dialer pool-member 1
!
!
interface ATM0.2 point-to-point - This is the interface for IPTV (Virtual Interface)
description IPTV-VC
ip igmp unidirectional-link
ip igmp proxy-service
no snmp trap link-status
atm route-bridged ip
pvc iptv-vc 0/65 As it suggests in the Seimens modem
encapsulation aal5snap Not sure if this is correct, but other IPTV discussions suggested this
!
bridge-group 1 Add a Bridge-Group
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

interface Vlan1 Normally you would assign the LAN ip to this, but since we're using the BVI interface for our routing, we do not assign this interface an IP
description Internal Network
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip virtual-reassembly
bridge-group 1 Probably doesn't need to be here, but I have added anyway
!
interface Dialer0
ip address negotiated
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
encapsulation ppp
ip route-cache flow
load-interval 60
dialer pool 1
dialer idle-timeout 0
dialer wait-for-line-protocol 1
dialer wait-for-carrier-time 1
dialer persistent
dialer-group 1
no snmp trap link-status
no cdp enable
ppp authentication chap pap callin
ppp chap hostname xxxxxxxxxx
ppp chap password 7 xxxxxxxxxx
!
interface BVI1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly
ip tcp adjust-mss 1452
ip igmp helper-address udl ATM0.2
ip igmp mroute-proxy ATM0.2 Routes the IPTV-VC through here
ip igmp proxy-service
!
ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer0


Is there any other config that the siemens has that I have missed out?



Thanks.

    Has anyone ever managed IPTV with a non Tiscali router?
