I installed MediaPortal 2 but found that it had no TV tuner support.
I have had to install mediaPortal 1 instead.
Is there a solution to enable TV support in MediaPortal 2.

Hello

I installed MediaPortal 2 but found that it had no TV tuner support.
I have had to install mediaPortal 1 instead.
Is there a solution to enable TV support in MediaPortal 2.

Yes, there are 2 options for TV support in MP2:

https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/mp2-plugins/slimtv-mpextended
https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/slimtv-nativetv

However, don't assume that going with MediaPortal 2 is the right thing to do.
MediaPortal 2 is still "alpha" software... which means it is a work in progress.
MediaPortal 2's TV support in particular is not as stable and polished as MediaPortal 1's.
At the moment most people still use MediaPortal 1, especially if they want to use MediaPortal for TV.

Since February things changed, currently it is possible to use MP2 with the stable version of TV Server 3. Here the link to the latest build from MP2:

First download link in the table is to MP2 with stable TVE 3

nice, aspik...ty.
Now, 'nativetv' and 'mpextended'?...I understand (now, at least) that MPextended is ONLY for MP1...am I correct?

You can use MPextenden if you have already installed MP1 with TV Server, this option was intended for people who had a working MP1 version and wanted to try MP2. If you are starting "new" then the best option to get TV in MP2 is the first link NativeTV 3:

What about the big, fat "download" buttons on the right hand side of the pages in the last 2 links I posted?
