Not at present.
The closest is to use EyeTV's software to watch recorded TV on the iPhone.
That works
Not ideal.

I have Orb and Slingbox here and I'm sure neither work at present. Hopefully sooner than later we'll see a Slingplayer and a codec for Orb that the phone will play. For now, YouTube and the like is as good as it gets...nothing live.
What do you think the iPhone is? A regular mobile phone that can stream live TV like every other phone out there?
This phone has a way to go before being great... I hate that my 4 year old treo can do some things that the iPhone/iPod touch can't.

Interesting, I had never seen TVU before.......not sure that Sky here in the UK is using that though, I heard it will be a Sky standalone app in the store.

I guess not, as O2 and Sky don't operate in Australia.
I considered getting this Sky thing -but not being a sports fan, I soon reconsidered. I wish they'd open up the options more to include maybe a movie a month from Sky movies; a few comedy shows (old episodes of Malcolm in The Middle, Simpsons, Futurama etc) - then it may be worth £6/month. But, £6/month for boring sport and news... i don't think so (not in my eyes, anyway)

While O2 doesn't, I think Sky does; there's definitely an Australian Sky News channel so I assume that the whole lineup is there.
It's actually an extraordinarily good deal. For £6 you get 4 Sky Sports Channels (normally you would need a basic Sky package for this and then £9 for each channel or £18 for all four), and ESPN (a separate subscription channel at £9 per month).
It's really very very good. Although I would also like to see another app called Sky Mobile TV Entertainment (with E4, Sky 1, Discovery etc...).
This is a fantastic deal - I signed up yesterday.
Even if you end up not using it - 3 months for free it'd be rude not to!
Also works well on 3g - 3gunrestrictor to the rescue.
If only you could output to the telly...
