I was about to post much the same.

So say the cost of the additional box / mirror sub is £10 on Sky and £15 on NTL the split is more appropriately

Sky
Box purchase and install £150 (100 for box (not + and 50 for install)
Monthly cost 10

NTL
Monthly cost 15

Extra 5
so payback is 150/5 = 30 months. Plus fault costs / call out costs / potential replacement box costs after 12 months.

I'm in a similar situation 2x boxes and 600k a £73 monthly bill. Does not look much cheaper with Sky and BT (but I have a BT line also), and you get to screw a satellite (see above - must need some fairly sturdy bolts) to your house.
