Have you tried just having your TV set as the primary monitor and running other programs on the secondary monitor? The MediaPortal wiki:

has this to say on the matter:
"Can I run MediaPortal properly on a secondary display?

MediaPortal can not run properly on a secondary display. It can run on your second monitor (or TV set) only if you set it up as "primary screen".

This is because MediaPortal uses DirectX 9 acceleration and Windows XP is only able to support DirectX 9 acceleration on primary screen. Thus the display used for MediaPortal needs to be the first or "primary" display in windows."
