You can't with a standard VM box, a TV with a cable tuner or an unofficial cable box would be needed.
Connecting such unauthorised equipment to the network, however, is against VM terms and conditions.
Some people also say that this could introduce noise into the system; thus degrading the TV picture for neighbouring houses.

Not seen/heard anything about the ITVBE EPG slot.
Apparently, the delay in 5*+1 returning to VM is due to Viacom wanting to put it on channel 152. Research shows that +1 channels do much better if placed next to the main channel.
If Channel 5+24 closes, this won't be a problem. Viacom are going to have to decide what they are going to do with channel 5+24, or accept that either it or 5*+1 are going to be placed away from the rest of the channel portfolio.
I suspect (but don't know for sure) that this could be the extra stream that MB picked up so that things are ready to roll if/when Viacom and VM come to an agreement.

Media Boy HQ think we may see Tru TV sometime this week - as early as October 1st.
Why October 1st?
Sky launch Sky1 HD on Virgin Media on that date back in 2010.

Still not confirmed yet but I am working with ITV Be launching on Channel 119, Channel 179 or Channel 205.
Or we may even see the following:
115. ITV2
116. ITVBe
117. ITV3
118. ITV4
174. ITV2 HD
175. ITV3 HD
176. ITV4 HD
177. ITV2 +1
178. ITV3 +1
179 or 205. ITV4 +1
Or ITV may just ask Virgin Media to reuse ITV4 +1 EPG Slot for ITV Be.
