well in theory, there should/could be..., as the pages you see on the STB are infact just bog standard html (with restrictions as the liberate middleware inside the STB's cant do all the standard java script/html) and there are gateways for the STB simlulator to test the 3rd party pages etc.

so theres no real extra work involved for Virgin Media to tap into the already existing 'now and next' and related texts of the STB's, the question is will they tell you what that url is or make a copy available to the users on their site perhaps.?

infact a nice java applet tied into the existing data might be another interesting and informative app they could let the users have access to , personally id like a rebol/view GUI app that send/receaved the urls/commands and displayed them as you liked......

lots of interesting options could be made if they give you the required info.
