I'm looking into some free trials for IPTV and came across a provider requesting my MAC address along with a device key. I'm curious if sharing this information is safe or if it could lead to potential issues down the line.

Yeah, sharing your MAC address is generally safe since it's already sent with every IP packet. You can also change or randomize it later if needed. Most services use similar info for their operations, so it's not too uncommon. Just be cautious with who you share it with!
One downside of giving out your MAC address is that it might tie your IPTV service to just one device. Personally, I use my service on multiple devices, and I wouldn't want to be limited to only one, so I'd be wary about giving it out.
Thanks for the heads-up! I definitely want to use it across several devices.
