That one's not going to do it - it's a device for displaying one of four sources on a single display. You want a distribution amp, which will decode HDCP and then re-encode it to multiple devices.

Here's a link to a simple 1x2 distribution amp. Not too expensive, really. The site is worth a read if you're considering HDMI distribution:

You can always get a second non-V+ plumbed in the other location (I think it's free with a V+ box, or is if you get the right deal). You could then theoretically switch them over ... but I don't think Virgin technically allow you to unplug the equipment yourself.
