Buzztv is coming soon with some new boxes

[montell]

I was just told by a friend here that Buzz team told him that they are not making any more boxes with Mac account changing enabled?
why would they do that?
very sad

Quote from Crazed
here is the thing with generating new MACs ... and I get this sent to me often enough to get fixed.

Okay, lets say a person changes the MAC on their Buzz box (or any box that allows it).
So now they have a new MAC that was randomly generated, but is it a 'new' MAC ?
In fact there could be another IPTV device out there some place that already has that MAC. Maybe that device has not yet been sold to a customer. And then when that box does sell and the new owner tries registering their MAC with a certain IPTV service (same service as the Buzz owner is using), but the registration fails because that MAC is being used by some other device (the buzz box that had it's MAC changed now has that MAC and has already been registered with service).
So now this new owner of this 'other' box now has to contact the service administration and prove by a picture that the MAC in question is in fact theirs and then the service would release that MAC and the new owner can now use and register his rightful MAC addy, he has to do this because his new box does not have the option to change the given MAC
So that fixes that, but what about that Buzz owner that change his MAC in the first place?
That box will no longer connect to the service because the MAC has been reset back to rightful owner.
So what happens next ?
Logically he would then generate another 'new' MAC .... and the process continues

I receive approx one message per month with this problem and I then ask for that picture and send in to service administration and wait till it gets released. All this usually takes 24 hours or less but that is 24 hours lost to the new owner.And more hassle for the Buzz owner because he now has to generate a new MAC and register it and etc... as long as that Buzz owner figures out that his MAC was disallowed for his box. Maybe he does not figure this out till days later and has now also lost time on his code because of all this


That is just something that I see over the years at helping people behind the scenes
It may not even be that much of an issue but there it is... and I for one am glad that the MAC generation option is not included on the new boxes.
Sorry guys

The last person with this issue happen to him was floder2
floder2 just recently had to wait to have his MAC released on a new XR4000 box because of this very reason.


I need to also say that this is not a new issue that started with the buzz xpl3000 boxes that allowed the MAC change.
This issue has been happening since this service first started many years ago. Prolly because of the Stalker STB EMU MACs that were generated randomly. Which incidentally are now using a different MAC prefix which is maybe to help combat this 'MAC already in use' issue.

lol.. and the other neighbor named "Squish"

Here is some info on where the name "Ogg" originated from....

It is sometimes assumed that the name "Ogg" comes from the character of Nanny Ogg in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, but the Ogg developers say that is not true.
Ogg is derived from "ogging", jargon from the computer game Netrek, which came to mean doing something forcefully, possibly without consideration of the drain on future resources. At its inception, the Ogg project was thought to be somewhat ambitious given the limited power of the PC hardware of the time.
Still, to quote the same reference: "Vorbis, on the other hand is named after the Terry Pratchett character from the book Small Gods".

The Ogg Vorbis project started in 1993. It was originally named "Squish" but that name was already trademarked, so the project underwent a name change. The new name, "OggSquish", was used until 2001 when it was changed again to "Ogg"
Ogg has since come to refer to the container format, which is now part of the larger Xiph.org multimedia project.
Today, "Squish" (now known as "Vorbis") refers to a particular audio coding format typically used with the Ogg container format.

"Squish" is the sound made when a T-rex Squashes smaller creatures and they slip out between the toes...!
