2) I gather that having a Freeview decoder means that I can record a digital channel whilst watching a different one. Is this correct? Also, presumably this only applies to the Freeview channels, not the digital ntl ones.

It looks like a good choice. It will record RGB (many don't) and has two scart sockets.
You should be able to wire it up as follows:
RF: Aerial -> DVD(RF-in), DVD(RF-out) -> TV
Scart: NTL -> DVD(AV2), DVD(AV1) -> TV
This will allow you to record cable in RGB (best quality). From a quick glance at the manual I'm not absolutely sure whether you can simultaneously record one and watch another but my guess is that you'll almost certainly be able to record Freeview and watch cable or a DVD. The other way round may well not be possible, but I'm not sure.
