I did what jobyrne30 suggested with WinDVR 3, and installed it on my Windows 7 X64 setup. So far, it's scanning and finding channels, though I wound think that my capture card is capable of hardware MPEG2 encoding.

Is there something better then WinDVR 3 for MediaPortal, or it doesn't matter?

**UPDATE**

So far the TV is functioning, though with a 50%-60% CPU usage. The Windows task bar overlaps Mediaportal constantly, though this is a problem with Windows 7 with many applications.

I have a question, do I have to keep WinDVR installed for this to continue to work?

**UPDATE AGAIN**

I fixed the taskbar overlaying Mediaportal. All you gotta do is right click and go to properties, then under compatibility check off "Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings". Since my HTPC is connected to a HDTV, I raised the DPI settings to make text readable.
