I see people with this MAC issue often.
The thing is that the service wants the MAC of the IPTV application that the device is using to connect to the service and not the actual device's MAC
The IPTV application would be the DOL or MOL application and it's MAC will always starts with 00:1a:79
If you noticed that the device's MAC and the IPTV MAC (DOL or MOL) have the same last 6 digits, but the first 6 are different. The first six is what tells the server to recognize the MAC. It will not recognize the device's MAC since it does not begin with 00:1a:79 ... nor does the device itself connect to the service, the DOL or MOL does.

I agree. Very nice new interface over the T2 series, and better specs, especially available on-board storage. My only gripe on dreamlinks are that they aren't 'rooted', but that's minor. I'm not sure if I would recommend upgrading from the T2 or T2 prime but definitely over the T1 prime.
I am just testing this box now and i have to say that the IPTV part is better then any box that i have tested, the guide is much nicer then others. You get the Picture view on the top corner while viewing the guide, sort if like the Satellite boxes. I definitely recommend this box.
My only gripe is the lack of an Android TV app for things like Netflix. Unless I'm not aware of a Netflix app I can sideload that will give a similar user experience but the Android OS version of Netflix is plain awful. I don't want to rely on the air mouse to move around within the interface. I suppose this isn't a complaint against Dreamlink directly as all these IPTV boxes suffer from the same issue.
One is a T3 And the other is a Z8 so move on or i will delete these posts, stay on subject.
I got 4 of these (T3) wasted my money,WHY?
VOD don't work, have to use external player to be able to play video which sucks.
PPV channels don't work
Guide bar shows as gray background and to make it worse it doesn't load guide automatically, you need to scroll through channels for it to download guide info, sucks too.
Many others things, T2 with DL2 is superior experience.
On the good side, picture quality slightly better.
Final: I would not sacrifice all of the above for just a small picture improvement.
Thinking about moving on to a better box.

VODs work fine, no issues at all.
Enter the VODs selections thru the RCU's VOD button or thru the MOL2 sidebar menu.
PPV also work fine, (ensure your T3 has the updated firmware installed).
