This might be a clue to issues with STB Blocked for MAG users, even with a correctly linked MAC to your donations:
From Bob Loblaw at the other site:
I don't know about Kodi but I would assume it won't work either. The only real way to know would be to try it. When you use a real MAG and sign on the server it also sends a machine ID which the emulators and Kodi don't although they are both capable of doing so but you have to know what the machine ID is. It is not just the MAG that does this, other dedicated IPTV STBs do the same and some providers use the ID as part of the handshake process. You can bet someone will be working on a fix for that so you can use the MAC on the go.
I have tried the MAC address from a MAG254 and an Avov tvONLINE STB and neither would work with the emulator. I always got your STB is damaged error message.
This might affect those who are attempting to use the MAC from your MAG to an emulator or Kodi. Right now the emulators and Kodi are working with the private server so it may not be an issue for those users, but unless the MAC and that machine code is cleared, you might be blocking the use of your MAC inadvertently.
