I have only seen them for Sky but no doubt they will become available for NTL if a market for them develops. Some people have manufactured their own zappers with all sorts of Heath Robinson gadgets.
There are possibly none available for NTL systems because they are so far behind with interactive that there was no need for them. The red spot will increasingly appear on NTL as they develop their interactive (wonder what the few who used to say that NTL was far better than Sky because it didn't have the pesky red dot will have to say then?) . It will be there because it will generate revenue for NTL with some of its uses and advertisers will want to take advantage of it (even more revenue for NTL from them). They will probably remove any opportunity to turn it off that they can in order to protect the possible revenue streams.
