I had some of the very first digital boxes with an analogue pass through. I had read, just as you did, that the newer digital boxes didn't have it but seems that they introduced new ones with analogue pass through's not so long ago.

The old boxes (with the 2 slots on the front) have the bypass for terrestrial channels.
There were then some "phase two" style boxes (2000 series?) which didn't include this and required the use of a combiner with an outside aerial.
With the 4000 series boxes, ntl are fitting Bypass filters to the back of them, external to the actual unit, which are powered by the IR-port.
