Fractal Channel Hopping

Can't decide what to watch on TV? Why not watch all the channels at once, in an infinite fractal zoom...

git clone http://code.mathr.co.uk/fractal-channel-hopping.git

Check the README for instructions. You need a fairly beefy machine with a good broadband connection, plus it's probably UK-only due to BBC geographic restrictions.
