Don't the cable companies have to, by law, put through the terrestrial analogue channels if they have a STB regardless of whether people are paying for them?
As for the cheaper package, maybe you are thinking of the forthcoming Top-up TV thingy?

The subscription-free analogue channels continue to come through the cable even if you don't subscribe to ntl. We used the cable point in our lounge in this way for two years, before eventually subscribing to ntl digital. So long as you only want free-to-air analogue signals, you don't need a set-top box of any kind. Just plug in your aerial. The only thing you might need is a little converter to marry up your RF-aerial connector to the f-link connector used by Cable.
