My opinion is fairly similar. I hate the VM boxes and want to configure the stations in a way that makes sense, not the jumbled mess that they have.

Is there any problems with me putting the current STB in another room?
the room I have in mind is already wired up.
no problem always keep the subbed box connected, make sure the box is able to 'talkback' (don't use a booster without a return path) unless they may become suspicious and also you lose all the interactive extras...

All the kits in and working
Thanks for the advice and guidance.

Now just the EPG to sort out

Only one problem so far:
I'm not seeing BBCHD in the EPG, I scanned for channels in the morning when nothing was on, could this be why?
I will rescan when there are programs on, but I think it may be something else. I have seen pictures of it running in VMC is there anything I need to do to get it showing?
