The guy in the next cube over was running parallels and I got him a copy of fusion for him to try.  Both work really well from a Mac perspective, however, I'm not sure about the hardware issue.  Fusion is doing some fantastic stuff with hardware pass through, is it a USB based TV device?

Sometimes you need access to specialized hardware.  TV card is the first thing that pops to mind.  I'm now wondering how good USB support is in parallels.
