NTL Box Questions

OK, so I have NTL being installed tomorrow.

I know I asked a few questions a few months ago, but I just need to clarify on a couple things.

Does the box I will be getting ( I imagine it's the Samsung?) have two scart connections?

If it does, does that mean I can use one to send the picture to my TV and one to send the sound to my AV Receiver?

Now this is just a guess, because I don't have NTL, but I would imagine it'll have RCA out for audio, so you could use that instead of the second scart. It may even have optical or digital coax out, so assuming you have the right input, that'd be the best option. Generally all set top boxes have scart out AND rca (phono/composite) out

I had my old Pace ntl box replaced with a new Samsung model recently (2110c). This box has the following connections:

TV Scart (Composite and RGB video output/audio output)
VCR Scart (Composite output + composite and RGB input/analogue audio output + input)
Optical SPDIF (Digital audio output)
