What control system?

DirecTV on many many many many many occasions in the past has ACTUALLY changed the MAC address on their device(*) which has wreaked havoc on control systems that use IP reservations in their router to assign an IP that is then used as the IP for the control system.

* How is that even possible or legal? I thought MAC addresses had to be paid for to some "society" and was PERMANENT?

they more than likely swapped from ethernet to wifi communication. this would explain the different MAC addresses. i have seen this happen. i have never seen any device ever just change MAC addresses
I love supporting product that supports me!
