If you have to internally change the MAC# in a STB app, they should use 78, avoiding the problem of someone randomly making up a MAC, that will "eventually" get registered to a new STB.

...Just an observation!
BIO who was one of the original staff members when all this iptv started getting more popular, he had predicted back in 2014 that MAC spoofs would happen.. it was identifiable.

His solution (and BIO was a computer/networking genius), his solution at the time for them '78' MACs was to use the last 6 digits of the receiver's own MAC (that statement from BIO is still posted here somewhere).
That receiver's MAC would start with the first 6 digits as a number of different digits other then 00:1a:79... but the last 6 were sure to be an original sequence so could be attached to the created '78' MAC and have the knowledge that you did not spoof another MAC.

I do not know much about how the connectivity on them methods that use the '78' as I actually have never went that route, believe it or not
