What's the reason for using a different MAC?
I believe its for security reason.

Thanks Dish. So if i have a DL I can put it's MAC in the Buzz and connect as long as the DL is off? Correct?
Not 100% accurate. If you have a sub on something like stbemu/shield setup you could use the same mac on the buzz and get it working on the buzz. However going back to the shield isn't possible as the mac/serial/other info is now tied to the buzz. Even copying the serial of the buzz in stbemu won't work. Youll get an STB blocked error or something when you try to go back to stbemu/sheild. The sub will still work on the buzz.
I've tried copying the mac of a t2 to a buzz and that doesn't work either. Things may have changed as I did these tests a feeonths ago.
Where the changing of the macs comes in handy is say you're with a sub with reseller A and you find the same sub with reseller B and want to swtich to B. No need to get your mac released by reseller A or wait for the mac to fall off the panel or whatever. Just use a random mac.
just tried it
went from buzz to zoomtak and back to buzz using same mac
no problem
