    This probably is a simple solution but could someone please tell me what I need to run NTL TV into the bedroom next to mine (through wall) using the existing point ?

    These are for reference only and can be purchased cheaper on fleabay. Just split the feed and run the cable from main incomer to where ever you like, if the cable run is a good distance you may require a booster also.

    More splitters you use the weaker the signal becomes though. And you can only watch the same channel off one box or an alternate analogue channel.
