Problem you'll have is that the boxes are never sold as being able to receive anything other than FTA programmes. The fact that it's a HD box means that it will still receive HD programmes. If you load the original software on to it and use it as a freeview box, then it should still receive BBC1 HD, in which case you won't get a refund.

As far as other digital systems there is a small, little known company called SKY who may be able to help you. There is also one called Virgin Media. Apparently they're becoming quite popular too.

thanks phil,would you know where i can get the orginal software download from? & would i have to take the bbc hd channels from a standard tv aerial ? & not from the virgin media feed?

Don't honestly know as I don't use the same box that you have, but downloading the Big Maq toolbar (Google it, I'm sure you'll find it) then have a look in the sections on there. HD is a digital signal so I would imagine you'd need to get it through Virgin Media as the signal through your aerial will be analogue, although I am prepared to be corrected on that.

I think the only way to go will be to subscribe to a digital service from either Sky or Virgin.
