Default BBC HD via cable ?

Hi

At the moment I have a Dbox and thinking of building a HTPC.

Is it possible to get HD channels via the same virginmedia cable that is connected to my Dbox?

If so, what TV card is captible of receiving/decrypting hd channels ?

Thanks

It is the ONLY channel they do offer by the looks of it.

It will come down the same cable.

What hardware/software is required to be able to watch HD BBC?

Would be great to watch Euro 08 in High Def, without a dish!
