There really is little purpose in offering a STB without PVR capabilities these days as it's only marginally more expensive than a non-PVR box, so maybe they have other things in mind.
Now that's interesting.

I would love to be able to watch cable upstairs as I used to have my old Samsung box setup with the RF out split to feed second TV in the bedroom.

Now I'm on V+ and use HDMI, I've got a choice of wireless scart senders from the second port (with no menus) or invest in some HDMI splitting / sending technology which ideally means running 2 extra CAT 5 cables to get the best picture.

If Virgin could use this new box as a kind of extender, so I could use V+ functionality upstairs, that would be good. I'm fairly sure that in the States, the SA box V+ is based on offers this to remote "dumb" boxes in the same house.
