Not sure about your box, but I can confirm that all the channels are up and running!

Virgin Media get their supply from Sky, but mainly in standard definition. The cable is not the best medium to transmit a HD signal.

As the above post said, you won't get any of the sports or any of the movies in HD unless you subscribe to Sky and have a dish and a Sky+ HD box, thereby making your EX7000 not a lot of use unfortunately.
