Not sure if the boards are international, but if anyone in the UK is thinking about swapping to the new Virgin Media V HD box (or V Box HD), I can tell you that it works.
The Box is a Cisco 4585HD, also know as a Scientific Atlanta 4585 HD. It will run box HDMI and Scart out at the same time, and has the RGB options like the old box.
When you go through 7MC set up, I could not get 7MC to learn remote commands, but if you go to the STB list and select Scientific Atlanta, then on the next screen select C0237, it works fine, needs to be set to "slow".
The IR bug needs to be stuck on the Left Hand Sdie, right over the Virgin logo (Nice!). If you shine a torch down from the top of the box, you can see the IR receiver through the front window.
If anyone wants me to do a step by step guide on setting this up, just ask.
Although, it's starting to get a bit pointless with the Tivo being available...

Thanks for this. Good to know it works.
Though, like you said, with Tivo available now when/if my STB dies I'll probably just get one of those. It'll happen anyway at some point even without a failure to force the issue. I've already long since stopped spending money on my 7MC machine.
