Change Mac Address

[Dreday]

I had the buzz 3000, i noticed when you pressed the blue button on the remote, you can change the mac address, however on the newer buzz tv (4000) it doesnt allow you to change the mac address, can someone help?

You cant change macs on any of the 4000 or 5000 models

5000 are Buzz coming out with a 5000 models.

Im aware ,I should have quoted mr man

I already answered your question

[Normski]

Will buzztv consider updating firmware so that you can change mac? 

It was a great option for me. 

Thanks 

[nbs.]

I dont believe so

[Normski]

Which box was the latest one where you could change the mac address? 

Thanks 

[nbs.]

Buzz 3900 really solid box

[G2P]

what i read before, They have removed that futures  on all new modal (4000 and onward series) as complains from service providers, conflicts with service provider , multiple user has same mac address with same service provider.

Anyone want to swap Xr4500 for a xpl 39000?

Can I ask what was the main purpose of using this feature?

Just asking for feedback.

let's say I have a sub using mac on a different box

without bothering the seller I can change the mac to match

can still do that with stbemu pro but then why bother getting a buzz

[Normski]

i had 2 different subs on 2 mag boxes

sold the mags after putting the subs onto my buzzbox

worked great

plus family and friends have subs that i can use in case of emergency

all on 1 box its great,

how can i change the mac address (start with 00:1A:79 )for my buzztv xr4000? or the steps to do it?

it's already been posted that you can't

Seems both answers were you guys want to MAC share/use same MAC on multiple boxes

 

This is what created a ton of issues for us

We will try to research a better way to offer users a way to MAC change.

not sure how it created a problem

I had a mac account using my global box

with stbemu I could use same account on my zoomtak

or on my buzz xpl3000 by pressing blue button

not at same time of course

no different than using user/pass as long as you don't exceed what's allowed

I have already sold my Xr4500 and bought another xpl 3000 so not a problem for me now.

Totally  valid points by dishuser. 
I have to use stbemu on my BuzzTV and one of the main reasons buying a Buzz is the app itself.
