How Do I Use HDTV Pump For Windows Media Player?

I am trying to setup HDTV Pump as a filter for Windows Media Player 10 so it can play TS video files (stored on HDD) as described in the attached C/P.

"HDTV Pump - This DirectShow filter allows playback of ATSC/DVB .ts files in any player application that uses DirectShow including Zoom Player, Microsoft Media Center 2005 and Microsoft Media Player 10"! HDTV Pump can be downloaded from Free Codecs web site

MY QUESTION IS: Does WMP or HDTV Pump have to be set or configured in some certain way to make WMP & HDTV2DVD play the TS files? For instance, does it have to be installed in a plugins folder or some thing?

I already have HDTV Pump installed in my PC, however TS files will not play in WMP 10 for me. MPEG2 files play fine but TS files give me an error (I think it doesn't recognize TS). I know very little about this subject but I maybe I'm missing some thing about how this combination needs to be configured.

If I'm wrong in my assumption then maybe some one can tell me how to install HDTV Pump from scratch so it will work as advertised.

This is an MCE 2005 PC with WMP vs.10. HDTV Pump is in my C:\System partition while HDTV is in D:\Applications partition (don't know if that matters).

Please don't suggest that I use some other player - that's not the issue here. I can already play TS files in Media Player Classic. What I need in this case is to be able to play TS in WMP 10 (as well as another utility called HD TV2DVD where it's also used to show a TS video preview).

Some help will be very much appreciated. Or, please point me in the right direction to a source that can help.

Best regards
