This problem is common with cable tv systems.
It's caused by a small current circulating in a mains earth loop between the ntl equipment in the street cabinet and your hi-fi.
That's why you didn't have this problem when you were using a satellite receiver.
Call NTL faults and ask them to fit an earth loop isolator for you to prevent it.
