Sky Stream Pucks tcp/udp connections question

Yes - I know this question should perhaps be in another area, but it is network related and not service!

 

I have recently migrated to Sky FTTP and to a Sky Stream package with four pucks in different rooms of my bungalow.  I have come from Virginmedia where I had my router in modem mode, and was more than happy apart from price rises and slightly more expensive tv pricing.

 

I have managed, with help from others, to emulate my Virgin setup, with my own pfsense firewall configured in the SR203 DMZ setting.  I have three TP-Link EAP devices connected across a wired network of three TP-Link managed switches, providing for a pretty good home network setup, combined with a 'homelab'.

 

I now wish to best configure my network to gain the best from my streaming devices, using either QOS or even VLANS to prioritise streaming devices. If all else fails I will resort to netflow/softflow - but I'd prefer not to go there at the moment.  Hence my question:

 

What tcp/udp ports are used by the Sky Stream Devices?

I don't recall anyone ever posting that information, and it's not the kind of thing Sky publishes.

 

Frankly with a gigabit LAN and the kind of speed FTTP can deliver, applying QoS to the 30Mbs (at most) which a Stream puck can use is almost certainly unnecessary.
