Well i have the old scart type Samsung STB which i connect up using a scart adapter that came with my TV. The picture quality isn't all that good [lots of pixelation etc, which i assume is due to the STB not having HDMI.

So my question is, if i call up Virgin will they replace my old box and give me a new box that they show on the ad with the HD and Vivo etc? If so how much would i be looking to folk out for having a HD box to go along with my HD TV? Has anyone else come across this kind of situation before?
da_vone it would be useful to know what services you currently have to help you with package / STB options

Main reason I ask is that the new collections (http://store.virginmedia.com/bundles...llections.html) come with TiVo as standard and may get you better services for a similar price if you've been a long term customer.
