2. View previously recorded shows
3. STREAM LIVE TV anywhere you are connected to a wifi network.
The thing uses Nat-PMP or UPnP to automatically punch through your firewall, and uses an external service hosted by EyeTV to allow you to connect to your home machine from anywhere without memorizing IP addresses or hostnames.
I think, but I haven't tested yet, that you will also be able to throw the video-out cable into the iPod and stream your live TV to a larger TV, because the iPod treats the video stream as a movie.
The video quality is staggeringly good - nice crisp h.264. It's also supposed to degrade gracefully using the new features built into iPhone OS 3.0 - I will test this when I'm out and about tommorow.
All in all, probably one of the most compelling demonstrations of what is possible with the iPhone that I have seen to date.
