Could it be left-over equipment from the MPEG-2 DTT Trials?

That was my guess too. Plus there's mention of Clermont Carn and 3Rock in one of the PDFs. And the location is Citywest where BT were operating out of.

L1011

"By Order of a Major Global Supplier of Telecommunications Services "

BT I'd assume, so 2006 trials.

I doubt it Setanta unless its was Setanta UK equipment. But Setanta Ireland seems secure.

Dempsey Announces Roll-Out of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) Pilot in Ireland

Dublin, 9 May 2006
The Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey T.D., has today announced the commencement of the rollout of infrastructure for the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) Pilot in Ireland. Under detailed procurement processes, expressions of interest and tenders had been sought for various aspects of the DTT infrastructure build and, after independent expert evaluation, winning tenderers have been selected and contracts executed.

BT Communications (Ireland) will provide a multiplexing and distribution service to the DTT Pilot. Multiplexing is the technical service in which television signals are compressed for higher quality reception and more efficient use of broadcast spectrum. NEC (UK) Limited will supply and install the transmission and combining systems required for the DTT Pilot. RTÉ Transmission Network Limited, which maintains Ireland's international co-ordinated high-power broadcast sites, will assist the Minister and his Department in the development and operation of the pilot project.

They just got investment from their owners of €400,000. It is part owned by UPC's owners Liberty Global. And they aren't that big.

Yeah thats the gear from the DTT Trials on air up to mid 2008. Infact you can quite clearly see MPEG4 Tandberg encoders!

Not in the market myself although it would be handy for streaming MKVs around the house. A PS3 might be more practical though.

Where can you see the MPEG4 encoder? Is there a model number?

At a guess Apogee its an 8090 on top and two 8030's below. Both are AVC - the 8090 being the HD model.
