No, ntl can still take their digital services down to baseband video and feed them into an analogue modulator. If they use signals from their own digital system they will have to install/upgrade equipment in the analogue headends, and it will probably be fairly costly.
This is exactly what happens currently with Sky digital programs on the analogue service, they are received from Sky via digital satellite and redistributed in an analogue format via the method above. I dont see any change to existing analogue customers in areas that would not be a digital upgrade, if such a scenario were to exist in the future.
I have no inside knowledge of their plans, just based on past ntl experience.
