    If its a subbed V+ box I wouldn't touch it as its cable owned equipment. Does it use a SATA drive?

    Remember its their property, if you ever leave VM they will ask for it back

    Buy yourself a HDD and save yaself future hassle.

    as sic has pointed out in your TOS ( terms of service ). any equipment provided to you from virgin remains their property no matter how long you have had it. unlike sky where it becomes yours to do as you see fit after the term of your contract has been reached.

    The way around this is to send them an email asking them to come and pick the hardware up. they wont and after 3 months you can do as you like because you have given notification.

    technically no. by law they still retain ownership of the box no matter if you have asked them to pick it up or not. dont get me wrong the likely hood of them ever claiming it back is slight at best but if they did and you could not return it then you would be billed £250 for the box and the same for the card again.
