I already declined . But I'm still curious , is it actually safe to provide MAC Address of android box to ANYONE / Public ? Some websites say hackers can't do much with your MAC Address , but some say may still be able to access your line to hack into your home PCs , etc.. Do you have any idea ?

They can't do much with your MAC address. However there are a lot of cases which people are cloning their MAC address into exactly the same as the another TV Box which has subscription with IPTV services like HaoHD, MYIPTV and etc.
