When installing MP1, the TV DB configuration dialog specifies SQL Server 2005 (see attached file "Setup database connection - v1.27.png"). Since MP1 TV Server has been successfully tested with versions up to and including SQL Server 2017 Express, the text "2005" should be removed from this dialog (see attached file "Setup database connection - proposed.png").
The dependency created for the TV Service on installation appears to be incorrect. Instead of:

it should be :

for SQL Server Express. I'm not sure of the syntax for SQL Server; perhaps the use of "SQL Browser" was an attempt to be independent of whether the Express version was used. Unfortunately, this doesn't work because SQLBrowser has no dependencies, i.e., it does not wait for the DB server to be ready. Post-installation changes using "sc" do nort survive reboot. As a workaround I have changed the TVservice startup from "Automatic" to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" (see this thread), but this doesn't appear to be adequate (see 3 below). I am now trying to edit the value "DependOnService" in the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TVService" directly (see attached .reg file, renamed to "TVService.txt") and will report back.
Despite the setting "Wait until TV Server has started" (autodetected and greyed out in my installation) under "General" - "Startup/Resume Settings" in MP Configuration, it appears that MP will still start before TV Server is available (see attached MediaPortal.log around 5 AM this morning).
