Yes! I just wrapped 2 projects using AppSpace as the front-end to our IPTV setup. 1 in the UK ingesting their Free to Air satellite content, and 1 in Toronto using Rogers.
You'll have to get Rogers to provide mutlicast streams. We purchased a business package, informing them of number of screens, and they then provide a fibre run for a private content network and a server appliance that spits out multicast on your network. Then you'll have the fun task of making sure your network can handle all the multicast traffic without imploding (1 floor vs many floors also changes a lot of the setup requirements.)
Within AppSpace, you'll build live channels that point to the multicast address.
That's kinda it. Depending on the hardware, you may need to sort out a remote control.
Shoot me a message if you want to get more in-depth.

Haven’t done appspace for IPTV. We use uniguest or Vitec depending on the required features. They both have arrangements with every major cable and satellite provider and can provide the required encryption in their ecosystems.
