[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #3334: Allow mythtv-setup to use the downloadable icons from the new online database

During the initialising phase it loads all the channel info from the
database and prepares to search for icons.
It then enters the download phase where it queries services.mythtv.org for
each icon.  The counters increment to show which icon it is looking for
and how many don't exist.

In your case, you are unable to contact the database and there is
currently no way to set up a manual proxy for it.  It communicates over
standard http  - can you not setup a transparent proxy or something on
your machine?

Sounds like the ping check was removed before committing (though this
probably wouldn't have worked through a proxy anyway).  Looks like we need
to trap and inform the user when it can't connect rather than continuously
trying...
