The point to remember is that although you may not need phone services from VM, you are going to be paying somebody for a phone line rental if you go down the ADSL route. Remember too that with ADSL the speed you get is likely to be much less than the 24 meg maximum due to the line distance / quality so all things might not be as cheap as it seems. With the way VM's pricing works you don't save much by not having the VM phone line.

For HD you need at least VM's new V HD box, or V+ if you want the PVR functions. YOu should already be entitled to the basic Virgin "M" TV with your current packages, but that won't include any of the HD stuff.
