i think you're refering to digital tv...
yeah, i've been wondering the same. the last offical "free-to-air" ntl did was in december with MTV. since then the free-to-air section on ntlworld can no longer be accessed - implying that there will be no more FTAs. which is a shame. 
although, we did have Racing UK as a FTA over the past fortnight (has ended now) - but there was no mention on any ntl websites - as per usual with ntl's brilliant communication skills

Re: Free-to-Air Query
Yep, Digital.. Anyone in NTL land know?
They used to advertise these on the website:
http://www.ntlworld.com/channels/tv/freetoair.php
But, as bigitup j says that was december..

Yeah, but don't point that out - what would some people do all day if they couldn't blame ntl for lifes failings?

Re: Free-to-Air Query
[pedancy on]
Do they mean FTA? Isn't it really FTV?
A subtle but important difference.

I was under the impression that some of these freeviews were exclusive to NTL (obviosuly this doesn't apply to the Disney Channel/FilmFour etc.) such as Boomerang which seemed to spend more time as a freeview than an actual Family Pack channel
