I'm not sure how applicable any of these links are, but take a look
at them:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5817
http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/vga2tv/
     (If you convert VGA to TV, you should be able to use any slide
program, like MagicPoint, instead of a specific character generator)

     (If you contact The Weather Channel, they might be willing to
help you)

http://effectv.sourceforge.net/

     (This probably gets a bunch of stuff that isn't useful to you,
but it's worth looking through)
