In simple terms, the cable that runs around the house needs connecting to the RF (Aerial) output from the Virgin box. You should then be able to tune in all the other TV's unless the Virgin installer set it to the same output frequency when they will already be tuned in.

your cable probably goes through your av channel just switch your tv back to the basic 1234 channels and they should work

I think that depends on the cable box, if it has an RF input connect your TV aerial to that. You may already have the terrestrial channels there from Analogue cable, they will be on different frequencies if they are there. Try re-tuning one spare TV to see.
