MAC address vendor

Dish Technologies Corp — 7 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:08:89
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Dish Technologies is registered to MAC prefix 00:08:89 and 6 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:08:89, that block was registered by Dish Technologies — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Company substance confirmed via D&B/Bloomberg/BBB records at the same Inverness Terrace campus and via Hopper/Joey device context; this is not a bare single-OUI shell registration.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

A MAC address starting with one of seven OUI prefixes registered to Dish Technologies Corp identifies networking hardware built for DISH Network's satellite-TV service — typically the Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or MoCA-over-coax interface inside a Hopper DVR or Joey client receiver.

Dish Technologies Corp holds seven confirmed MA-L (/24) blocks in the IEEE registry — 00:08:89, 00:24:AF, 00:64:AF, 04:C9:D9, 28:57:67, 4C:82:CF, and 88:B6:EE — all registered to the same Englewood, Colorado address. Multi-block registrations like this are typical of vendors shipping several device generations, each carrying a distinct hardware revision.

The registrant is DISH Technologies L.L.C., a subsidiary of EchoStar/DISH Network, confirmed independently via Dun & Bradstreet, Bloomberg, and BBB company records that place its headquarters on the same Inverness Terrace campus as the IEEE filing address. This is a substantive, identifiable company, not a bare shell registration.

DISH's Hopper-and-Joey whole-home DVR platform equips each unit with multiple network interfaces — wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi on Hopper-with-Sling models, and MoCA over the coax backbone — which plausibly explains why the vendor needed seven separate OUI blocks rather than one. This device linkage comes from a single web source and is tagged accordingly.

IEEE's public OUI registry publishes no assignment or registration date for any of these blocks; a third-party lookup service's "last updated: 2017-10-11" timestamp reflects that database's own record-touch date, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded as one here. One block, 00:64:AF, shows a one-digit zip discrepancy (80111 vs. 80112) in IEEE's own source data — flagged rather than silently normalized.

IEEE assignment
7 MA-L prefixes → Dish Technologies Corp, registered Englewood, CO, US [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Registry / block type
MA-L (24-bit OUI) for all 7 blocks; no MA-M/MA-S entries found for this exact org name [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
HQ / registered address
94 Inverness Terrace E, Englewood, CO 80112, US (0064AF block shows 80111 — flagged, not normalized) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Parent company
DISH Technologies L.L.C., subsidiary of EchoStar/DISH Network [Confirmed] — dnb.com, bloomberg.com, bbb.org
Device types

Date registered
Unknown — IEEE does not publish assignment dates; a third-party "last_updated: 2017-10-11" timestamp is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed absence] — api.maclookup.app
Related-but-distinct orgs (do not merge)
"DishTV NZ Ltd" (C4:FC:E4) and "Swe-Dish Satellite Systems AB" (00:1A:0C) are separate registrants [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Company substance
7 OUI blocks + an identifiable parent company + device context clears the abstain-on-shells bar — not a bare single-OUI registration [Confirmed] — synthesis of registry read + web research
