Beyond TV, HDHomeRun, and Vista Media Center

[jresnick]

I am trying to set up the following:

1. Use Beyond TV using a Hauppaugue 250 and tuner 1 of the HDHomeRun
2. Use Vista Media Center using tuner 2 of the HDHomeRun

The problem is that the Windows Media Center Receiver Service "blocks" the use of the internal Hauppaugue tuner. Another words, if you try to set up the internal Hauppaugue tuner through the setup wizard with the Media Center service running, the wizard crashes. If you disable the service, the wizard works fine. Does anyone know a work around for this? (I'm stipulating that this is obviously not a Windows Media Center forum, however I'm sure that some of you may be trying to do this.)
