Hello there. I was having the same problem (solution at #4). I have a two screen setup, computer monitor and a lcd tv. I wanted to mediaportal to be invisible when using the computer, and I had to install couple of programs to get it work right.
1) MCE replacement plugin + registry tweak.
Had to install this so I could use MCE remote when MP is not active and disabled regular MCE remote support because it controlled only the active application, in my case Firefox used by someone on the computer.
2) Ultramon
It was pretty annoying for PC users to see MP blinking on the taskbar, so I used Ultramon's feature called smart taskbar. Now both desktops have their own taskbars.
3) CursorLock
This little program prevents mouse cursor from going to second monitor. Start it with /S -switch to lock it and /U -switch to unlock.
4) Ardamax Mouse Wheel Control
When ever MP stole focus from Firefox and someone was scrolling with the mouse, MP skipped two minutes forward/backward. With this program I can replace wheel scrolling with keypresses. I configured up and down scrolls to insert-button, which does nothing on my MP configuration. Works like a charm, no skipping!
I also had the f**king skips. They only occured when playing video (tv/video/series/...) in MP.
Now, after disabling the mouse wheel with Ardamax and running it for half a week, I have to report that there are no more skips. Sometimes the cursor appears and the IMON display chnages for a short time, which shows me that MP wanted to do a skip, but the video keeps playing correctly.
It seems like my wireless mouse sends a mouse wheel event / my pc receives an event caused by whatever (mobile phone???).
I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse. I tired to design things mouse friendly as much as possible, because it was almost impossible when I joined the team. As former WMC user I quickly decided to create a WMC-like skin which comes as close as possible in terms of appearance and...

I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...

You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.
