I doubt you'll have much luck - these work by repeatedly sending the same IR code to the STB. Unfortunately, if you do that with NTL it won't work as if there is no red dot on the screen, it'll either bring up the mini guide menu (when you press TV) or switch channels (when you hit back).
It seems to me that NTL have done this intentionally to stop people cancelling the red button automatically. I can't see any other reason for it (e.g. the blue button could be used to cancel it.)
Let's face it, NTL must get a cut from these adverts, they're not going to stop blasting them out for our benefit and their loss.
