The SACM doesn't worry about that since it's the SACM that is registered with the VM servers. Both the SACM and STB must be rebooted (powered off) when the connected device is changed.
So if I took the MAC address of the old router (which was/is registered) and made the new router use that MAC address, no registration with the PID etc is needed????
