I have a hauppauge 950Q tv tuner and the software bundled with this can see tv channels and record how do I get media portal to see these channels as well? When i go in media portal I just get a black screen

When I run tv server configuration I get a Psisdecd.dll you version has to many bugs. I assume I can just ignor this? Now when I installed media portal I choose to use media portal as my tv source. Is this the correct option to choose if I have a usb tv tuner? Also when I go to tv servers in server configuration I see my pc but no tv tuner there. Do I need to disable my other tv tuner service for this to work? thanks i'm just trying to get this to work didn't think it would be this difficult.

I'm guessing you are using Windows XP (not MCE). From the wiki:
"BDA / DVB hotfix

As outlined the MediaPortal Requirements , the BDA/DVB hotfix is essential for viewing digital TV broadcasts using either analog or digital TV cards. It is already included in roll up 2 of Windows MCE 2005, but for Windows XP you have to install it manually. It includes an updated psisdecd file (psisdecd.dll) . When installed correctly this enables multi TV card support using Windows XP (SP3).
All XP users should install this hotfix in any case. Often problems occur when you do not install the fix while using a single card, then later add an additional card.
Windows only officially provides the updated dll with MCE, so please consult the BDA/DVB hotfix forum thread for details and a link to the download."

MP1 MP2 Issue after replacing tuner DE
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

MP1 MP2 Someone is selling your software on eBay for $16 DE
It may seem strange, but the open-source license allows anyone to sell physical CDs or DVDs to customers, provided that, for example, the source code is made available upon request and additional value is provided, such as an installation manual. Both of these are mentioned in the product description, so it appears to be legitimate...

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
