Not legally, no.
When you say you are an NTL customer, I'm assuming seeing as you don't already have a STB that you are an internet-only customer? Because if you sign up for digital TV, the STB is free, and unlike with $ky it remains the property of NTL, which means it's free to replace when it b0rks, no matter how old it is.
AFAIK you can plug the output from a STB into your PC and continue to watch TV on your computer if you want.
