This is one of those things that Google would probably give me the answer if I could think of the right question.
I want to create an information screen, similar to the kind of things you see in railway stations etc, maybe showing a live TV feed in one area, some headlines coming from an RSS feed, a slideshow of images in another area, etc.
(Disclaimer: They are a sister company to where I work at DisplayLink)
The hardware driving each screen is tiny - the brains are concentrated in a server you can locate securely, and CamVine offer a service where your server talks to their server over the Internet so you can remotely administer your displays. I'm not sure on the state of live TV, but RSS feeds and slide shows look great.
Hope that helps, Tim.
