you only get one at once? I was assuming this would be fifty news channels all running together at the same time - elvis style. that would be quite good (in an artistic sense).

Can I tweak it somehow to watch all of my favorite television shows at once?

I have Real, Quicktime, WindowsMedia, Flash and who knows what else, and still nothing seems to come in on the video screen.

It uses Flash and WindowsMedia. I discovered the following on their blog:

"The individual locations making up this site control their video feeds locally – and provide news updates to the moderator when significant events happen.

Not all sites stream 24/7, and sometimes equipment failure, connectivity issues, or other problems mean a stream won’t be working at any one time."

So apparently if a particular channel is broadcasting programming other than news or weather, you will get a black screen.
