Network tuner... depeding on how it's network is setup, this should be the easy part. Even VMware has PCI device pass through, so you COULD use a PCI tuner in a VM...with some hiccups (its a little buggy sometimes)
People thinking about doing this. If it's your primary machine (like a office machine), your thinking about doing this on. You will be running a full version of Windows 7 under Windows 10, it has resources. People with a not so new computer could take a major performance hit running a VM. You also need to remember to always have the VM running if you have shows to record.
It's no shock that this works. WMC 7 was designed around the very first dual core CPUS when the norm desktop was a single core. It should run a VM with fairly good performance.
This will only be a major benefit in some people in some cases. IN most cases running a dedicated machine will be the better route if you depend on it for your primary TV.
