[QUOTE="KRA, post: 942855, member: 13608"] I've been playing around with ESXi 5.0 for 3 months now, and can report the following (what I remember) I have currently following system: ASUS P8B 4/EL 16 GB ecc ram Xeon 1230 cpu Asus PIKE 2008 sas/sata controller ATi 6450 gfx Agrippa DD/DTS PCI soundcard VIA USB/FW PCI controller Hauppauge 5500 PCIe tuner Hauppauge Nova HD usb2 tuner Terretec H7 usb tuner 50GB SSD disk Running 3 VM: Openindiana ZFS fileserver (Asus PIKE controller passed through VT-d) Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server (built inn USB controller passed through VT-d) Win7 Mediaportal/TV-Server (ATi gfx, soundcard, via usb/fw, hauppauge passed through VT-d + 2TB RDM harddisk, also on USB I have connected Terratec H7 tuner, Hauppuage NOVA HD tuner, and MCE reciever) I've also had several versions of xbmcbuntu and mini-ubuntu running as XBMC frontend with ATi gfx. Failures so far: Hauppauge HVR-4000 PCI card did not work, it passed on fine and installed fine but did not tune any channels. FloppyDTV Firewire, did not install/not detected WHS2011/Win8CP Catalyst control center failed to start but gfx card did output desktop, did not do extensive testing. Problems: USB recievers have some stuttering, don't know if this is bad tuners or Virtual problem (new tuners only tested in different VMs) This may be the VIA controller, so I'm gonna test the built in intel controller when I have time. Hauppauge 5500 PCIe I havn't had much time to test yet, it tuned DVB-S channels fine, but had issues with playback, have not tested dvb-c part yet. [/QUOTE]
