FIXED FINALLY
Okay I can admit when I am wrong. Yes I was entering my MAC into the wrong box and should have been entering exactly what it was prompting for - my donation number.
So, did that, and then I got to the change MAC screen and changed the third number from 79 to 78. I cleared cache and it started right away.
Lesson learned and you do have to change the MAC when going from your STB to a kodi device but the tools are there to do that quickly. It just takes some planning.
Wow - most of this was my fault.
The first box has shaded text saying "Donation". Where else would you put your donation number?
