The BT Home Hubs 3, 4 and 5 definitely support IGMP - BT Youview
requires it.
When the old BT freeview service stopped and I was "upgraded" to
YouView, I had to get a Home Hub 4 installed to replace my solid
reliable Netgear DG384 which didn't support IGMP (as far as I could
tell). My old Homehub 1 (once I'd retrieved it from its hiding place in
the loft) didn't work either.
There's a fairly old list of routers which support IGMP (and hence BT
YouView) at
