I dunno about in the US, but here in the UK on our Freeview (DVB) system we have teletext which has all sorts of fancy features, such as picture in picture, fancy graphics, selecting what you want to watch. Adding a news ticker to this shouldn't be difficult (there was actually one on the original teletext - but I can't find one on the digital version), then all you need to do is reprogram the DVRs so that when you press the text button it shows you the live teletext when watching something.
