Does anybody have any experience of TV over a normal IP network?
Anybody recommend any suppliers of the encoders/decoders?
Can you get flat screens with built in ability to decode the signals?
What do you mean by "a normal IP network?" I've experience of using (although I have no idea how it works) Cisco IPTV which multicasts over a 100Mb full-duplex IP network. Even then, the picture quality isn't all that brilliant...

We did a soft launch of their M products at the Smart Home Show last week. The have 4 or 5 livve homes up and running and it can encode, stream and decode live 'off air' pictures.
We hope to have the full, trade launch at CEDIA in June and then a Retail launch at Smart Home Show, London in September.
Phil or Keith are the guys to talk to up there.

The brief is to have 14 flat screens plugged into the network, with normal terrestrial channels and some others at the Client's discretion.
Hold on a sec.
Does it have to be an IP stream or could we just use the CAT5e to distribute the signals.
We did a Bar/Training/Conference facility about 14 months ago, using a AV Matrix switch that sends analogue composite video and audio signals over the CAT5e network.
We pulled out a £35K digital codec and installed a £10K analogue matrix with better results!
PM me if this is of interest and I'll give you a call.
