I had one working once, without timeshifting etc. Then it got dis-supported. So I used a brilliant workaround: Sold it for about 55 euro's, put in 5 extra and bought a MCE card. :D. I believe you can use the card again with the newest MP, but I would try to sell it for a good price to someone not needing a MCE-card, and the use the money to buy one of those yourself.
(O, and try to keed the remote if you have one, it works fantastic with MP and other apps).

Have you tried adding the capture card under Television>capture cards in the setup module (not in the wizard). If I remember correctly, you were able to add it as an S/W card, but I not sure if it was that way and if you still can in the current version. One thing is for sure, your card isn't mentioned here

If there is a possability of it working, you have to put it as an S/W Card.

Here's some links about the PCTV-Pro, but all with older version of MP:

Your card is really becoming obselete. The future is with MCE cards. I would defenitly advice to try to sell it (I sold mine to someone who could use a S/W card because of the different capture modes, like raw .avi instead of just MPEG2, it is a nice card when you want to edit old videotaped material (as long as you use the video-in))

Is this solved? I've had the same, or maybe just similar, issue for a while now, and I've narrowed it down to Onlinevideos getting MediaPortal stuck on the plugin loading stage of startup.

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...

Apologies Pablik. My bad. I neglected to run WMI Manager and check Properties as you advised. Sure enough, it produced this error: I tried to run winmgmt /resetrepository, but there were conflicts with running services. So I stopped those services (Malwarebytes & IP Helper), then stopped the winmgmt service. I was then able to run...
