[mythtv-users] OT: Myth on ESXi - passing through the USB controller

[Michelle Dupuis]

I have a basic .25 backend running in a VM now under ESXi4 (vsphere).  I also have the USB HDPVR connected and simply allocating that USB device to the VM.

However, from what I've read I should passthrough the entire USB controller to this client since the HDPVR will create too much load on the host otherwise.

Can someone help me figure out which device to passthrough to the client?  I pasted an lsusb and lspci output below if that helps.  Perhaps it's a procedure I need ?

Also, does the lspci output below mean I have only 2 USB2 controllers, and 7 USB1 controllers?
