No they wouldn't advertise it so much and invest in tivo or be adding new tv channels or invest in Nagra. The only thing they will shut down from there TV division is the BT leased franchises which are Analogue and any MATV contracts which distribute Analogue TV, they are not interested in MATV contracts it becomes uncommercially viable after a few years as technology changes. If Virgin Media was to continue supplying a MATV service, it would have to spend money on upgrading the service to Digital and then by the time that is complete, something else will come out and it will need further investment. It's a drain on the companies resources and finances, some people don't pay anything for the analogue services they receive, just basic 1 to 4 channels or a few extra without even using set top boxes.
Anything that Virgin Media needs to look at closing down is the landline service, invest more in Voip, some countries have already done so.
