In this particular case, burn-in will most certainly occur.  TiVo is connected 
to televisions, and big screen TVs are very susceptible to burn in because of 
how hard the CRTs are driven to produce a large picture.  There are tons of 
horror stories on the 'net about it from people who left them on news channels 
for days after 9/11, or watched 4:3 material unstretched on a 16:9 screen for 
long periods of time.

On PCs though, you are correct, burn in is pretty much eliminated these days.  
I have seen it still happen on modern screens, but you've really got to work 
at it :).

I agree.  I would really like to root this out as well, but I have no idea 
where to start.  There isn't much documentation around, and I couldn't find 
anything in the icecast.xml configuration file that seemed to fit.  As soon as 
we come up with some things to try, I'll have at them.
