Multicast IGMP (iptv streaming)

Hi all!
My ISP offers some iptv services (they gave me playlist for vlc player, and the channels in playlist look like udp://@224.0.42.1:5000, afaik they use igmp v2), my home computer is behind untangle-box NAT.

so, the problem is, that the video steam doesn`t come to my home machine.

google says, that the must be smth like "igmp proxy" enabled in the kernel (+ the firewall rules for the udp packets).

since i`m not very experienced in debian (some time ago i had gentoo and slackware), it would be great if you give some tips how to enable video straming support.

P.S. sorry for my poor english.
