Hello there, please bear with me as I have just joined. Firstly I would like to thank the Mediaportal team for providing this software.
A bit of background info.
I am running Windows 8 Release Preview (as part of a dual boot system with Win 7) & I have been unsuccessfully looking for some tv tuner software to go with my tv tuner card until I found MP because as you may know Win 8 does not come with WMC.
As a test I have first installed MP on my Win 7 system & everything is working fine including live TV which is the main thing I wanted.
I then installed it on my Win 8 system & it mainly installed ok, but there is a problem with the tv server set up, the service won't run because of a socket exception. I have already checked the hosts file & the required settings are already there.
127.0.0.1 localhost &
::1 localhost

Any ideas please?

I have attached the error message.
