HDHomeRun with Virgin Media connection as Aerial?

Anyone able to advise if this is possible please? I don't have a terrestrial arial, but do have both Sky and Virgin Media connections coming into the house. I don't think Sky is possible, but anyone got it working with a VM feed as an aerial?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

    I don't think you can as no signal going through the virgin cable. You can watch free to view via your sky cable (if you mean a sky dish)

    As far as I recall you need an active subscription to avail of the RF output for "freeview" channels - as in it won't provide a signal without it.
    I watch all my TV content through streaming services now anyway (I live in the valley under Northern Irelands strongest transmitter - yet I can't get a "free-to-air" TV signal!)

    Virgin's signal is a different protocol to DVB-T2 so unless it explicitly supports it then it's not going to work.
