I am running 2 android boxes at the same time with the same stb emulator (DigitalSTB). I've noticed that most all of the emulators are about the same. I notice that the MAC Addresses are the same. I haven't activated the second box in fear that my account will get banned because both boxes showing the same MAC Address.
Can I use the same MAC Address on both boxes with both boxes operating at the same time?
Thank you for the opportunity to post.
I look forward to all responses.
It depends on how your provider handles it. They can either select lock to hardware or not lock to hardware. If they select lock to hardware the first box that registered to the system will work. The second box will not work even if you have the MAC address set the same. Some people have been able to fool it by cloning serial numbers and other identifiers. If your provide sets "No to the lock box to hardware" which select.. then you just need to have the same MAC and you can use both boxes.. just not at once.. You can try running both at once.. what will happen is you are going to get a lot of buffering since you have both boxes trying to share one connection
As for banning you.. If they do then you pick the wrong provider. My customers does all types of wierd stuff with MAC and STB. We understand and allow it.
This will be the most honest answer you get here.
