YOu are probably not going to be able to sort this yourself, unless your chum has told ntl that you are authorised to deal with his account - data protection and all that.

Modems and STBs allow connections to broadband in slightly different ways (you have to register the PC on STBs, you don't on modems) so yes I'd expect some new settings to be needed, but as he already has an account with ntl you'd want to ensure that, email addy's and the like are moved over.
