If it has cable tuner installed, yes you can use it to view virg*n. If his area has gone to nagra3 all he will be able to view from the feed is the fta channels.

AZbox works fine with Virgin Media Cable broadband. A simple (non-ASDL) router is needed in addition to the Virgin modem.

Virgin Media are rolling out a new encryption, Luton I think has gone over, so no more free cable

I have a dish and a motor! All tha I want to watch is football and a bit of US drama here and there, all the News channels are free anyway...for me all the decent stuff are on 28E apart from 3PM football and I am not into card sharing business....
