Sony Media Remote & Airport Extreme Router

    I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a few days now with no luck. Maybe somebody here could shed some light. I'd really appreciate it.

    I have a Sony TV that supports the Sony Media Remote iPhone app. I have the TV connected to my Airport Extreme router via cat5, and my iphone connected to same router via wifi. The instructions are simple, open app, search for device, register device. But my TV doesn't appear on the list of connected devices.

    I think the problem is that Airport routers don't support upnp, and the media remote app uses that. I've looked for work arounds but can't find any. I thought I could port forward but can't find what ports the app uses etc...

    I find it unusual that this problem isn't more common as airport routers and time capsules would be a pretty common router I would've thought. Or am I missing something.

    Thanks in advance.

    For anybody searching for soution to this problem. I eventually solved it. Sony have released a new app called TV Sideview

    It works immediately with apple routers, no upnp or port forwarding required. So if your sony tv supports the new app i'd give it a shot.
