Users need a broadband connection and the latest version of a media
player to access the multicasting service.

And the right router (which mine isn't) :-(

Nor mine (Draytek Vigor 2600).

I've been wondering if there is a way to get it working by setting up
multicast routing on a Linux box, and setting a static route on the
Draytek to send all packets for 224.0.0.0/4 to the Linux box.

Anyone here know enough about multicast to advise whether that is
worth trying?
