VOD not working with new router unless I set up DMZ... Does it require open ports?

[Enragedalbinoyak]

I'd rather not set up my DVR as the DMZ host if I don't have to... Are there any specific inbound ports that the VOD function on the HD-DVR needs? If so, which ones are they?

Nope no need to open ports or put in on a DMZ network. Do you have UPnP support/enabled on your router?

It's supported, but not enabled. I'll see if that works after I finish watching this movie... I just got a connection able to drive this thing properly, watch and download simultaneously, and I'm not about to troubleshoot when I can finally start using the damn thing.

Edit: It is awesome though. I'll be glad to finally stop the bitching from my friends about how they have on demand and I don't.

Interestingly, I have UPnP disabled on my router.
Everything works fine.

Some say you need it, some say you don't.

Special ports NO, but what is your accessible IP range and router rules regarding same? Are you using any hardware and/or software firewall?
