Been working on these 2 projects and they actually sort of work together in a cool way, basically imagine a BBS chat room where it can tune a station, broadcasted by someone with whatever they want to stream, live, with automatic closed captioning, is being rendered using ANSI glyphs in true color synced across users with no drift. I think of it as a virtual BBS couch.

There's a bit more to the update below, but in short the projects are here and there if you want to try or look for the bite sized details: https://github.com/hmderdoc/telnetvision and https://github.com/hmderdoc/avatar_chat_universal

Besides telnetvision integration Avatar Chat has been updated with bridging chat networks in mind, with included bridges for irc, discord, telegram, matrix and slack. Last but not least there is a forked version of Moebius that can connect and send ANSI's to avatar chat and interact on that network - sending ANSI's has always been possible but all editors were on my domains, the moebius fork at least brings that functionality available to other servers.

If you do somehow manage to get your own telnetvision broadcast going, you can tune an avatar chat room channel to a broadcaster by typing (using my domain as an example) `/tvtuner futureland.today 7601 cam` - the params being server-url, port, and channel-name.

If you install the new avatar chat and want to see the tv feature in action, just type `/join #tv` something should be broadcasting.
