    Well, I asked a question - and so did you.
    I'm wondering what you expect to achieve by changing a MAC address - there may be other ways of achieving what you want.

    He probably has a MAG style IPTV sub and wants to use it on his other box too so needs the MAC address to match

    But you can't have the same MAC address on 2 boxes on the same network segment.

    You can make software believe it is running with MAC address B when the system's (or rather, one of its network interfaces) MAC address is actually A.

    Yes the problem is I have 2 boxes.
    1 downstairs and the Lx3 upstairs.
    I would like to use the upstairs one at night when the other is turned off,
    On my iptv.
    Is it possible?

    The one downstairs? Is it an e2 box? If so you could prob use channels importer plugin on the LX3.

    So you're trying to use two systems for one subscriptions?
    Is it possible?
    Possibnly.
    But since they appear to be on the same network you can't make them both have the same MAX address.

    It can be possible to make software get the "wrong" (or "right" - i.e. the one that you want, not the one that is really there) MAC address when it queries for it. I once had to work out a way to do this (legitimately) when the supplier of a piece of software stopped support for it and we acquired a perpetual licence for it as it then was. Two years later we moved it to a new system (which our licence allowed us to do) and discovered that the "perpetual" licence code we had was tied to a MAC address, and the original supplier no longer existed. So I had to work out a fix to enable it to run again.

    On STB Emu on android you can change the MAC address that the stalker client looks at to grant access, it does not change the real MAC address as this would mess up routing. This is the the option that the OP is looking for, but to be fair to get that he needs to be talking to the writer of the plugin he is using rather than the Vix operating system

    I have a subscription..I only want to use 1 box at a time for obvious reasons...
    If both boxes have the same Mac on the network , it wouldn't work I get that, but if one is turned off , then it would ,would it not?
    So back to original question..
    Is it possible to change or spoof the Mac on box 2?
    Cheers

    As I've already said - spoofing it may be possible.

    Not sure what is obvious about it.
    If the subscription were for multiple devices it wouldn't be tied to a MAC address (well, it shouldn't...)
