Let's say you could define the IPTV service of an ISP. What's the features you'd like to have there?

Here's my list:

- Time shift (pause/rewind current stream)

- DVR (watch one stream, record another in parallel)

- Voice/Video calling directly from my TV with an attached webcam (plus recording of the call)

- Sync with cloud storage to easily view pics/videos taken from my phone on TV and vice versa

- Share recordings with friends

- Chat overlay to discuss in real-time a currently running show directly on the TV

- The possibility to consume a (different) stream on an iPad in parallel

- Video-on-Demand with Netflix etc.

What's your take on that?
