It's also been posted that they will lose the ITV Hub too. Do you know anything about this nodrogd?

This being the case, can I use my existing Virgin box or is it all encrypted, meaning I need to go out and buy a new set top box? Or is there a work around where by I can plug the aerial into the Virgin box, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who cancelled Virgin, but still uses his box to watch the only channels that he watched anyway as they are among those broadcast unscrambled by Virgin Media- Radio 4, BBC News & BBC1.

None of the HD channels are broadcast unencrypted though.
