I wasn't tallking about opening the network up, just thinking out loud that if ntl were to sell their stbs as a way of covering some of the installation costs instead of holding people to a 12 month contract, it would be easier all round...

Of course there's a cost - even if the property was alrteady cabled, and the cost of sending an engineer out to your house to complete the end of the install is present, the hardware, the manhours it takes to administer your account etc etc etc. There is a cost to EVERY install.

The sales man who singed me up even said we can cancel your contract if u move to non servicable area so are they as misinformed as we are ?

No, sadly, there are some unscrupulous buggers out there that just want to get you connected and get their commision. If they told you you had to pay for the full 12 months regardless, would you have signed up? My feeling is NO, and I can almost guarantee that was probably the salespersons feeling too.
