Nope, Sky encode and encrypt C4 HD for Channel 4.
Andrew is yet to show me a single box Professional receiver that can decrypt H.264 Videoguard encrypted channels. Theres still a reason for it, it doesn't exist. Until it does then Virgin cannot take Sky's HD channels from satellite and re-encode them onto their own platform. The alternatives are a three box soultion or a direct HD SDI fibre feed, both very expensive solutions.
