Sure I can get RGB vidro via SCART direct to tv, but I want to add 5.1 home cinema receiver and don't want to be stuck with Composite video signal as my current Samsung 2100 offers! This really annoyed when I found out, as did the realisation I can only watch one and record the same channel at any one time!

HDMI - Not likely!, Why would NTL provide a High Definition connection?, there are no HD channels yet, SDI is more likely but I will belive it when I see it!
Optical - The connections are on the back of the PACE di4000 series, but no achall plug was put on the back of the box to cut costs, I *would* PM you a link with instructions on howto add one, but alas you disabled Private Messenging.
5.1 - You do realise that currently NO tv channel broadcasts in 5.1 sound in the UK, on any platform (cable, sky, DTT, etc), execpt for the ODD movie on sky movies, but seing as NTL encode these at a higher bandwith than sky, you will get better picture with NTL on premium channels.
My advice - Stick with the RGB scart and be happy with what you've got
