VMWare and similar communicate to the host OS through the network, AFAIK. So maybe it would be possible to write a server-client to make it possible to run the DVB USB device on a Windows-guest, stream the whole TS over the network to the host OS and have a little server/client to change frequency and start/stop streaming. In Linux (or other non-windows host) you would probably have a virtual DVB device for a client so that it works in any application. It's horrifying and nasty, I wouldn't really like to use it myself ATM (I prefer buying a natively supported device even if I own an unsupported one already), but if there really wouldn't be any other way (e.g. no hope for a native driver), it may be an option to some. Or as a temporary solution until there's a driver (just like captive NTFS was until there was ntfs-3g).
