Hello and welcome 
Ceton CableCARD tuners can already be used with MediaPortal to receive copy-freely content. They just can't be used to receive copy-once content. If you're one of the unfortunate people that subscribes to a cable provider such as Time Warner - which usually marks all channels except locals as copy-once - then MediaPortal isn't so useful. However, there are other cable providers such as Comcast and Verizon FiOS who currently don't do that. Long may it last!
With regards to support for copy-once content in MediaPortal...
This has nothing to do with HDCP.
Loosely speaking, the requirements are:

Even if we had the money, the chances of us gaining certification while keeping our code open source are likely to be zero. Since we are not willing to close access to our source code on principle, there's probably no chance we will ever gain certification.

This has nothing to do with HDCP.
Loosely speaking, the requirements are:
- Implement or licence a CableLabs-approved copy protection scheme such as PlayReady or DTCP to enforce the restrictions of copy-once content.
- Have CableLabs test and certify MediaPortal as compliant.

Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine.
Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC?
PS: You can also try to make short record

Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...

MP1 supports TVE 3
MP2 supports TVE 3, TVE 3.5 (unstable), TV Mosaic - I think so.

I mean perhaps you should first do some config before you can start using mediaportal?
