There has to be some conditional access and encryption of any IPTV I have worked with. Veramatrix was generally the encryption method.

It's not done that way in networks I've worked with ... these are typically satellite acquirement with conversion to IP and then multicast to headend .... or in several cases it's a multicast fiber feed from the content provider and there's no encryption at all ....

Encryption is 100% required any time you are involved in distributing TV content.

Speaking of tunneling, if I was to import a TV headend feed, say 1

GRE

Same answer. Unless you need encryption, GRE is stable, fast and lightweight. If you need large packets (jumbo frames) you can use l2tp and add in the bcp MRRU and transport those.
