I work for a company who provides cable service using IPTV style devices (amino STB's). I don't work in that division, so I know little about it. At my home, we have Fiber bringing the signal in, but internally a 10/100 ethernet network provides realtime IPTV feeds to all 8 TV's , highspeed internet to 6 pc's, and VOIP to 2 independent phone lines, and I see absolutely no pixelation or signs of signal quality issues.
The IPTV mpeg encoding for this system does use some "proprietary" encryption, but I do believe that with the right authorization, a PC could receive/decrypt the signal, as the provider of the video encoding devices advertises that it can be viewed over PC or STB.
