Mike said "My plan-last resort was, if I could locate the device, then I'd find a way to share it to a VM and the rest will be sorted by Windows." I sometimes use vm for tv, but (maybe coz of the graphics card on my laptop) the picture is slow, even when I alter the vm's ram. When I plug in the tv card (via usb) the OS 'sees' it, so I can connect it to the vm. I will be waiting on the soln you find :) -- _____________________________________________________________________________ This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
