Well, the "Digital Headend" was newer, larger, telephony oriented and very unmarked. You wouldn't know it was a telephone exchange by looking at it.

The hubsite was less discreet though and had always been the headend for our area for TV, at least. You could see the off-air receiption antennae and dish array from the road. A single 1.2m dish fed a rack of NDS receivers with sky cards in them and the other 15 or so dishes were mostly unused.

I have no idea whether newly built TV and broadband would still originate from the hubsite, or whether it would now be sent out from the newer, totally unmarked building that's not near the hubsite. I would guess it would depend on proximity.
