Ok to all, so I got it working but I couldnt use my MAC address that was tied to the box. I used this one 00:1A:**:**:**:**
Some background, there was someone who installed it on one of my other boxes. I thought each box should be tied to its own MAC address, but after I put this one in - which is the same one being used on my other box, I was able to load the Channels, EPG, etc.
So I have it working, but now I am confused a little.
What is the purpose of the MAC address if it's not the one from the box that you are installing the IPTV stalker on. I thought it was a mechanism to track which boxes are legit or something.
If someone can explain this I think it would help clear some things up. Also if the person who installed this is using the same MAC address everywhere, then what does this mean once it goes to a paid service?
Thanks again for all the help thus far. I think I am close to getting it all straight in my head.

Ok sorry wasn't aware. So how do I get it so that my own MAC address can be used?
I believe the person that installed my original box is using the same MAC address everywhere, I would like to get it so I can use my own MAC addresses for my own boxes.
If there is a way I can get this working, then that would be great because right now when I put my own MAC address from the bottom of the box, I am not able to load channels.

The MAC is only one of the methods that can be used to verify that the account is valid, but it isn't 100%, because anything can be spoofed. The primary mechanism that NFPS and Rocket uses for its donations are the donation number... and they probably only really care about that. The MAC does identify the device to the server as unique, vs. a user's ip address, which is usually dynamic. It doesn't guarantee that the box is "genuine" as someone who makes a clone of the box can just assign MACs at will... it just gets into the firmware of the box.
If you are worried that someone can just spoof your MAC, all you will probably need to prove that it's yours is a picture of the MAC address label, and your valid donation number if it stops working. Besides that, the odds of someone guessing your MAC is roughly 16^6 to 1, and combined with a donation number, multiply that by 12^10.
My guess is that NFPS hasn't yet fully implemented MAC checking, other than the first 6 digits, and the default 00:00:00 suffix
hi i've been using this addon since the early days and just updated to openelec w/ isengard 15 beta 2 i have the channels loading fine and epg data loads fine also, i can see it in the channels list, and also when viewing a channel if i goto now/next but if i goto the guide kodi force closes, i have tried multiple guide and pvr settings and im having no luck, is anyone else getting a force close when loading the guide?
Sounds like a problem with openelec.. may want to try a reinstall.. or post on a forum that has support for openelec specifically.
WOW!!! Took me a few minutes but amazing.
Last month I bought a Matricom Gbox Q. I LOVE it because I watch a lot of movies. And there hasn't been a movie I haven't been able to find. However, I was having trouble with Live TV addons. The video addons of IPTV just weren't cutting it. I was plagued by buffering issues and low quality video (and a lack of channels.) THEN I FOUND THIS! It took me a few minutes to change my MAC address and get the correct server location set, but once I did..... WOW. I have 695 channels at my disposal. They're all crystal clear. Got rid of my bulky Verizon set top box last week. And I'm sure glad I did! Keep up the great work!

I thought it was openelec related also but I just updated my firetv to 15 beta 2 and it's doing the exact same thing.. Using the English only guide link, epg data is there in channels but trying to open the guide results in force close. So that 2 different platforms doing the exact same thing. Tried loading up different skins also, same thing. Weird.
Nhumber you mind posting the link for OpenElec w/isengard 15beta2. Is it OpenElec 6 you are using and the isengard for Linux you are running? Thanks..

The server is having problems connecting with PVR Stalker 0.8. Just as a test, I manually extended the connection timeout to 60 via the settings.xml in userdata > addon_data > pvr.stalker, and was able to get it to connect. The maximum you can change the timeout setting through the setting menu is only 15. If you don't understand what I just did, don't bother asking how to do this.
