I've added a few new TKD resources with links to my original thread. Check them out and please add a helpful TKD resource link of your own!
http://www.hyong.net has videos of ITF patterns in two angles. It's in German, but you don't need to speak German to get some use out of the site, or find/watch the videos.
http://www.ir.isas.ac.jp/~cpp/TKD This site has downloadable videos of the Taeguek patterns, as well as still images of each technique. Also has photo shots of the basic techniques found in TKD. (WTF)
ATA Patterns and videos (some) http://www.hollenders.com/resource/resourcetkd.html Nice PDFs for the ATA patterns.
