Well, if its STB then you will need to use the MAC(s) registered at ntl.

If its a SACM then it doesnt matter what the MAC address of your equipment is. As long as yoou havnt changed it more than 3 times recently. ( if you change it more than 3 times and the dhcp gives an IP to each MAC address you wont be able to receive any more IP addresses until one of the first 3 has expired)

The default MAC of the router will be fine if its SACM.
