Asus RT-AC66U with RMerlin 376.49_5 and TalkTalk YouView Streaming

Hi,
Has anyone on here successfully got TalkTalk's You View streaming channels to run through an Asus RT_AC66U?
TalkTalk refuse to give up the secrets so far. I have followed several threads online discussing this problem on this and other 3rd party routers. I have tried all the settings mentioned therein but alas to no avail.
I did have an engineer out but all he did was give me one of their routers. This did get the TV streaming working but the router is next to useless so I swapped back and am trying to get it working.
My setting that I have changed are as per the attached screenshots:

Admittedly I have an N66U but I would have thought the settings would be the same and i have used both talktalk and BT youview with no issues. Just out of interest do you the the youview box directly plugged into thr router or do you have another switch, if there is an interim device you need to either make sure that has IGMP snooping enabled or directly plug the youview box into the router.

Only difference in my settings to yours is i have use DHCP routes under IPTV set to microsoft only and I have no portforwarding set for either of my two youview boxes

Thanks jernau, It is connected directly to the router but I do have a TalkTalk router in Bridge Mode between it and the WEAN as I only have ADSL at the moment. It's set to 1483 Bridged IP LLC which I believe should allow IPTV/IGMP through.
I'll try setting as per your settings and report back.
Thanks again.

By The way, do you have Enable VPN+DHCP Connection enabled or not under WAN/Special Requirements from ISP?

UPDATE:

Tried your settings both with Enable VPN+DHCP enabled and disabled but still no joy.

Still struggling is it modem settings

OK, I'm still struggling with this. Thinking it may be my modem setup that's confusing things.
So my setup as it stands:
I have a TalkTalk supplied D-Link DSL 3780 in bridge mode connecting to my ADSL line.​
I have LAN 1 in the D-Link connected to the WAN port on my RT-AC66U​
All login/DHCP etc is done on the RT-AC66U​
The relevant setup screens are, I think, as per the attached images.
If anyone can see what I need to change to get this working I will be eternally grateful.
I have searched various forums and used other's setup from the same or different routers in all sorts of combinations but I have to admit I'm a bit in the dark as to exactly what I need to set up to make it work.
Any help appreciated as ever.

Hi Cliver, I know it's been a while, but did you ever get this sorted out? I have exactly the same setup as you and the same issues.
 
Hi Dobby, sorry for the late reply, I have been off the forum for ages. No I didn't get it sorted. I put the TT router in and it just worked. Router was rubbish though so now back on the Asus but have binned TT TV. Hope you got yours sorted.
