Re: Headends.
Many years ago, in the days of Cambridge Cable, I had the opportunity to visit inside our Cambridge headend and very impressive it was too. Outside there was a fair size dish farm nestling between the building and the railway lines.
The most impressive bit of kit inside was the telephone switch, rows and rows of shiny cabinets – took me back to the late 1950s when mainframes were the size of squash courts!
