I'm not aware of a way to get HD content from a Virgin STB into MythTV
without any intermediate analog-digital conversion that is in
accordance with their terms and conditions. You may be able to use a
HD-PVR connected to a STB possessing component video outputs, but this
would break the purely digital signal path and may also be affected by
programming employing HDCP.

Cheers,
Nick
