Hi Mark, well as long as you have followed my directions for a good HP 2005
upgrade posted over at the green button.com under media center 2005 launch
central, you should be okay. I'm a little conserned that you installed SP2
before the upgrade as you don't need to SP2 gets installed via the dvd
upgrade as well as media player 10 and directX 9.0c anyways the reason for
the other tv tuner drivers being loaded to your machine from the dvd is
normal your emuzed card is near the end of the install, Hp just made sure to
cover all there tuner cards they were usuing and your computer is supposed to
pickup and use just the ones it needs after the install is finished. Good
Luck.
