Does your ''you know who'' know you are running 2 boxes and aloud it at their end?

There use to be a way to do it on the s9's, I'll see if i can find out where the info was

Hi, just realised it was ip addy you wanted to change, i thought it was the mac address ,

you can go into the network settings and select the wired network, there you can change it to dchp and the router selects ip addresses for stuff that connects,

i think you may find the reason your having the problem is because they are both connected to the same lnb though, my upstairs boxes 'f3 & f5' are on the same dish and i loose some (not all) channels if ever they are both on at the same time

The 2 devices would be assigned different i.p addresses when dhcp is on what are you trying do have the devices have the same i.p addresses?
The problem you describe is has darcu5 said, that is having 2 devices on 1 lnb, in simple term whichever device is in control of the lnb will decide what you can watch on the device i.e whatever the transponder controlling device is on the 2nd device will only see channels on this transponder.
