yes i do
Hello,
I've got IPTV stalker on my Raspberry Pi and I've had the same mac address linked to my donation for about a month now. Well yesterday everything stopped working and I've been desperately searching through these forums for a fix. Here is what I've been confronted with:

People are saying that I need to change my MAC address to something starting with 00:1A:78 or 00:1A:79....
----> Is this the fix i need? Which is right for my openelec Raspberry Pi?

If i do need to pick another MAC address how do I make sure its unique?
----> Is there a specific way to go about generating a new MAC address? Or is it just random?

Thanks all!
