Hi,

I cannot get IPTV service (lemo IPTV or other providers) to work when using internet through my Fortigate 81E. I have connected directly to lan.

If I try to use internet from my mobile it is working, so something in my fortigate 81E firewall is disabled or not set up.

Can anyone help me?

Hello,

If you are just receiving multicast from your ISP (multicast forward) then you just need to create multicast policy to allow forward from your ISP port to your LAN port.

If you need multicast routing, then it will be more complex to configure where you will need PIM configured.

Ok. Thank you for this part :)

But then what about IGMP?

Hello,

For that, multicast routing will be needed.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.0.0/handbook/29085/example-fortigate-pim-sm-configuration-using-a-static-rp

Just example, then it depends how it should be configured - static RP, what PIM mode, etc. Usually, multicast forwarding with ISPs for IPTV should be enough.
