I haven't seem any cards for busses other than PCI or PCIe, USB is only on a dongle (AFAIK). If I could pass access to the bus back to a VM I could just run XP under KVM, but that's not exactly supported, either. I was hoping someone would pop up with a solution like a dual mode HDhomerun or slingshot, too much to hope. > Might also be nice what your large collection is composed of, since we > might be able to get some of them to work. > Nothing with a driver, unfortunately, and much of it obsolete by this time, ie. driver now but out of production. When the FCC stopped approving non-digital cards a lot of stuff went off the market. I'd go with a mix of analog card and HDhomerun if I had to. -- bill davidsen CTO TMR Associates, Inc "You are disgraced professional losers.
