[QUOTE="znelbok, post: 699479, member: 109756"] Thanks for the reply DVB-T was my focus. There is not enough [free] sat stuff for english only speaking aussie and unless I am mis-informed, Austar/foxtel does not work on anything nut their own box. My experience wth vmware would indicate that you can pass the USB devices through to the VM. How well it works for a setup like this remains to be seen. I dont know how well a USB tuner works either. I am looking at using TV server on a server in the server room, no hibernation stand by etc, on 24x7. Re the IP tuner, I was asking about a tuner with an ethernet interface as opposed to USB or firewire - would make virtualisation easier. Maybe the dreambox line of receivers could be utilised in a virtualised environment. They have both DVB-t,C & S STB's available that can stream (they are built on linux) - have a look at dream multimedia if you are interested. I can stream from my dreambox to xbmc now so it should be able to stream to MP if someone wrote a plugin? for it (something I will have to search next). Thanks again Mick [/QUOTE]
