You cannot use PPV services (beyond £50) without a phone line as it needs to call the bill home (the return path on NTL does this). Where you get sky multiroom all boxes have to call home from the same CLI line to prove to Sky that they are all in the same house, else you could get multiroom and give the second box to your mate.
And being an NTL customer, to prove i'm not making this up.

On the second point, I'm willing to raise you to £50 to charity, that NTL will have a PVR service before Sky has a BB service, or should that be a proper VOD service? The reason, Sky should be quicker to market with HD as they only have to change what they uplink from one head end to the Astra sat, PVR requires funamentally more work than that.
