Surely you don't need the mac address for the HD box, you are using a wifi connector , it should have it's own mac address, the HD box is only use it's for its ethernet port. Mind you Sky is Sky

You are correct...
I should have asked "How do I find the MAC address of the connector ?"

No - they don't

You're right; I checked mine, sorry. (I'm sure I saw mine somewhere!)

My usual trick is to momentarily turn off my router's MAC address checking and connect the device, and then add the new address to the table of know MAC addresses and turn the checking back on.

I thought that was pretty clear from the outset (mine has the Sky USB dongle).
