Yes and to do that they use TT5020's with Videoguard CAMs, which needed an upgrade when NDS changed Sky's encryption.
Like I said, when Virgin do change the encryption they will send new software to the STB's which will enable them to work with the new CA, very likely to be a new iteration of Nagra. Hopefully this time they won't use the same cards available in other parts of the country. From memory I think it was Nagra ROM10 and ROM11 which were first opened up in Spain/South America and people in the UK used the same methods on the same cards in the UK.
