The scientific atlanta was fairly future proof, and probably the king of all cable set top boxes anyway, its just that virgin haven't quite caught up yet, even the most simplest of extras like the usb port will never get enabled otherwise it would make the transfer of media too easy for anyone,and we wouldn't want to encourage simplicity, people should realise that when you cant even get teletext let alone HD this is always going to be a 2nd best service and virgin have always reiterated that their main priority is broadband and not tv and this has been proven over the last five years if not in fact longer.
