Multicast with HSRP.

Good afternoon,

I'm currently running into a random multicast issue. We have a
connection to a vendor sending us multicast feeds. I have static
routes to the source ips to their HSRP address for RPF purposes. My
host subscribes and I can see (with show ip mroute) the groups show
up, but no data. Figuring it was an HSRP issue, I added a static
M-Route to one of the physical host IPs and BAM!!! starting receiving
traffic.

Where's my goof? I add the static m-route to the HSRP address it
stops, re-add to a physical and it works again. My concern is if I
add a default static m-route to a physical device and that host dies,
I have to hurry quick and change the default m-route.

Topology is basically the same as attached cisco document.

Any thoughts or creating solutions?
