>      http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv
> 
> HIGHLIGHTS:
> 
> Video Window Annotation for changes in Station, Input Device, Tuner Mode,
> Volume, and Mute should make it more enjoyable to surf when zoomed
> full-screen.
> 
> Station IDs will let the PAL (and NTSC) folks come up with their own names
> for stations (e.g. E1, ITH, FOX, CBS).  You can map these IDs to channel
> numbers or frequencies.  Channel number lists are now obsoleted by
> the more general station lists.  (NOTE: See README sections 1.6.1-1.6.2)
> 
> Video window translations added for changing station (via ID, channel
> number, or frequency).  Should make full-screen surfing of cable or
> satellite simpler.
> 
> Japanese cable support from (Hideyuki Suzuki), and Dynamic Input Format
> Selection (Joao Carlos Mendes Luis).
> 
> And Direct Video enhancements for moving and stacking the TV window on
> your desktop.  Now when you lower the video window behind another window,
> Fxtv will continue to blast (using XImages) rather than just turn off.
> Also, unlike previous versions, Fxtv shouldn't leave any video trash on
> your desktop after you move it in direct video mode.  Note that if you have
> opaque moves on in your window manager, you'll of course see video stream
> trails "while" you're moving the Fxtv window, but after you let go, the
> desktop will be entirely cleaned up.  Fxtv also won't stomp on occluding
> windows anymore.
> 
> Hope you have fun with it, and let me know if you have any problems.
