Yea, that's definitely using AJAX.  To tell you the truth however, I
don't find that click and drag any easier to use than the navigation
in mythweb.  To tell you the truth I like it considerably less.  I'm
using Firefox 2.0.0.11 under Gentoo.  The dragging seems to have to
wait until you hold the mouse still before it updates and it's
actually sort of annoying.  Seems more slick than
functional...sometimes I think that should be the official definition
of "Web 2.0" :D

I actually never heard of couchville.com before this.  It's actually a
pretty good listing site.  Too bad that, for an antenna, it only lets
you specify DTV (ATSC) or analog (NTSC) stations but not both...that's
a little odd.

The zap2it.com website can't seem to keep it together as far as the
OTA DTV listings are concerned.  Right now for my zip code they're
showing the actual UHF frequency for the stations rather than the
station identifier...for example 56 for WCBSDT rather than 2.1...which
also means that all the multi-casts show the same channel number.
They've done that several times in the past and then eventually
corrected it only to break it again.
