Risks of giving away MAC address TV

by Northpack30

Hi everyone, im kinda new to the IPTV and im not that technical. I was just curious how safe it is to give out my MAC address to a provider. Im mainly worried from a privacy standpoint. I hope someone can help inform me more about this.

Thank you!

Ive worked in these world, IPTV and MAC addresses go hand in hand, its used to authenticate that device with the service you have bought. whether your happy to give that info is your choice, but suppliers don't want you passing on details that would also give people access for free (you sharing logins or something)

What device do you have? If it's a mag type device, then you pretty much have to do it.
If you can log in using an XC login or M3u, then ask for that option instead.

There are many providers out there.... don't be forced to do anything you're uncomfortable with.
