If you didn't the STB won't recognise the new MAC and will ignore the router and therefor your PC.

That's a good idea, I'll try reset the STB after changing the MAC on the router, I previously only reset the router and not the STB.

I'll try that too, my router doesn't have a DHCP "release" feature only renew, so I'll connect my STB direct to my laptop and release the DHCP IP address, hopefully that'll work.
