    Hi RevMen.  Unless you plan to use the virtual HTPC as a recording system there is no point to having it.  At least not w/ respect to the InfiniTV.

    The InfiniTV drivers install w/o issue on Windows 2008 R2 (and even WHS 2011).  If you want to be able to use the Ceton InfiniTV Diagnostics tool on the 2008 R2 host then you’ll need to enable two services which are disabled by default on 2008 R2.

    1- UPnP Device Host

    2- SSDP Discovery

    From there follow Aaron’s guide to manually configure bridging the InfiniTV.  Three basic steps:

    1- Enable “Network Bridging Support” on the InfiniTV network interface

    2- Change the InfiniTV to Static IP or DHCP Client mode via the InfiniTV Device Webpage

    3- Bridge the InfiniTV w/ your physical network card

    If you did want to use a virtual HTPC you could bridge the InfiniTV with a private or internal virtual network card instead.  You could also pass the InfiniTV to the virtual.  But I don’t recommend it if you want to use clients w/ Live TV anways.
