[QUOTE="drhans, post: 990133, member: 333600"] just a small update... I've been running Ubuntu host and Windows 8 as guest OS through vmware and although the TBS tuners work in Windows, I have to power cycle the tuners after using them in ubuntu - in other words, once I use the tuners in linux and then start vmware and attach the USB devices, the tuners are found and I can run scan but no signal is detected until powering the tuners off and back on, which is not good... so I still haven't found a working virtualization solution that would allow running a tbs usb tuner (5925) on linux as well as windows without having to power off the tuners before switching :( By the way I've tried ESXi 4, 5 and 6, all same - tuners don't work at all. In VMWare workstation hosted on Linux, they work with limitations above. On Mac it worked in vmware fusion but slow and with pixelation when streaming. Did someone try Hyper V server? I think it can't do USB passthrough at all, right? Or any other virtualization OS? [/QUOTE]
