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.

I too work for a company offering IPTV. We have a full range on tv channels, including PPV, PVR and
HD. At the moment, it runs on ADSL2 technology over copper back to a fibre connection at the most 500 feet from the house. Works pretty good.
