I recall Toshiba talking about the "windowing" TV quite some time
ago in the trades, I think.  I believe I remember reading about the
chip set that does most of the work.  I think there's a catch--the
VCR and broadcast signal must be genlocked.  Since you can't move
the broadcast signal without an (expensive) timebase corrector, I think
this means that you need to have a sync input on your VCR (which most
consumer machines these days don't have, of course)  If they've found
a way to do it without genlocking the VCR to the broadcast signal
I'll be very surprised.
