Is it possible to buy a splitter so that both are TV/Data, or do I need to get in touch with Virgin ?
Just looking for the cheapest option.

Thanks.
This is actually called a diplexer and was used on the old analog system to provide FM radio stations to a tuner. Frequencies in the range 88 to 108MHz are routed to the FM socket. All others to TV/DATA. It also provides the isolator function so should stay in place at the point the cable enters your property. Just use the TV/Data socket. The other can be ignored.

As you've correctly surmised the true splitter and the existing cables can be mix and match.
