How can I figure out the MAC address on my new ATV4 withiut going through the setup process? I have to find it before the setup because my university, along with hundreds of universities, require you to register a device's MAC address before you can access their network.

There has to be a way?!

You are going to have to go through the initial setup of your tv to get that info. There is no other way. Yeah it's a pain, but here is an article by How-To Geek which will give you the details on what you need to do.
