My question is, what the hell is that black thing and can I request a different STB due to being, in effect, downgraded? I didn't even get a new remote with it!
My guess would be that it is an analogue pass-thru to enable your TV to receive channels 1-5 from the NTL cable.

None of the new NTL boxes have audio out connections (although you could get a Scart break-out box to fit any of them).
