Windows 7 SP1 Disables Happauge HVR-950 TV Tuner
For the first 2 days after I installed Windows 7 SP1 while the Service Pack Upgrade Files were still on my HDD everything was fine, but as soon as I used Disk Cleanup to remove the 920 MB of Service Pack Upgrade Files my Happauge HVR-950Q TV Tuner which HP sells for the computers they make had been working absolutely flawlessly in every respect ever since I got my HP Elite Desktop eight months ago and now SP1 starts telling me that even though the TV Tuner was not currently working it would run much better anyway on a high speed USB interface which it informed me that my HP HPE 270f Intel Core i7 930 computer was completely lacking and that I needed to upgrade my nearly new computer to high speed USB.
So I did a Macrium Reflect Restoration of good old Win 7 on which my HVR-950Q has been rendering a consistently flawless High Definition Video performance for almost an entire year using USB 2.0 without any sign of sluggish performance during TB after TB of recording and playback and all was right again.
As I said everything was working perfectly fine while the 920 MB of Service Pack Update Files were still on the HDD, but after they were removed SP1 immediately put an end to the usefulness of the USB TV Tuner.
