gday, brand new user, so forgive me if im not up to tech jargon..

was wondering if i was to buy a virgin+HD box off ebay with smart card, would i be able to plug it into existing virgin cable & have the ability to record and watch hd tv? (already have hd tv and standard definition virgin box)

thanks in advance

the box in question is property of v/m.. unlike sky where you buy the box over the subscription period, v/m boxs are always owned by dickie and his merry men..
