George.
The reason NTL don't take the cable modems back is because the cost of recovery, testing/reconditioning would far outweight the £20 cost of the modem itself. It's cost effective, even if it doesn't seem that way at first..

The digi STB's are expensive and usually are recovered, to replace them it costs £215 or so
