What would be the negatives of an all IPTV network?
Granted that everything works as it should.
Is IPTV possible over cable?
You need to have router capable of passing the data at the home site if all say...7 tvs are watching a different HD show thats 15.5mps(MPEG-2) x 7. Sure the odds are low but we see reports of 8-9 and 10 tv homes....

More typical is 2-3 tvs watching a HD stream at 15.5mbps per stream.

Now with MPEG-4 that gets cut by 30-50% so really you are back to decent hardware thats readily available off the shelf today.

The STB would be responsible for passing the data, not a customer's own equipment.

the way that my verizon fios setup works is that i have a coax coming from my apartment closet going into a three way splitter. From there one coax goes into the router and the other two go into motorola set top boxes. It's my understanding that HD VOD and informational services (widgets, guides, etc.) are delivered via ip done via MOCA which is the coaxial networking standard used by verizon. Both my set top boxes have ip addresses registered in the router.
