Just installed MP2. When I click on the MP2 icon I get a full screen with the logo. No way to get out of it except to restart computer.
The instructions on the config page don’t match what I see. Supposed to be intuitive but that’s not my experience.

Maybe I should ask first how do I program tv manually. I am not using epg.

All I want to do is record and watch OTA tv.

I have a hauppauge dual tv tuner and am using their wintv software on windows 7.

    Did you get any errors or see anything odd during the MP2 install?
    Can you take a screenshot or photograph of what you see after clicking on the MP2 icon and post it here to help us understand what has happened.

    I figured out how to use the tv config. But not registering any tv channels. No problems noted in setup
    I am attaching all logs. Maybe that will help.
    Using wintv also, does that matter.

    I think win tv has its own tv server service, you may have to uninstall it and just install the driver for your tv card so win tv's server doesn't interfere with MPs tv server service access to your tv card.

    I am no expert on logs but from the entry below it does look like MP2 can see your tuner but is not able to use it so as @TLD says looks like Win TV may be the problem.

    OK thanks. Sounds good. Other than that and figuring out the config menu MP was really easy to set up.

    I uninstalled WinTv, restarted computer and opened MP config again but it still cannot recognize any channels.
    I don't know which logs are pertinent so am attaching everything with today's date.

    when you uninstall wintv it usually uninstalls the driver for your card. Look in device manager and see if the driver is still installed.

    When you go into MP TV config. are you seeing the dual haupauge tuner under servers/yourPC name as per screenshot 1 below? If yes, click on one on the tuners select your location and scan for channels, see screenshot 2. If no as per the post from @TLD you need to check the Device Manager to see if a driver for your tuner card is still installed, see screenshot 3.
