Its a Ruby on Rails application running on polaris.  I think stuarta
wrote it, and my guess is that its currently not maintained.  I've
looked briefly at migrating it to a different VM, but not really spent
any time on it yet.  My notes say that urls for the sample videos,
radio station database, and old releases are also served from
services.mythth.org.  I think those are all redirects to static files.
I haven't seen the source for the RoR server yet.

What a query like http://services.mythtv.org/channel-icon/search?s=cbsn
returns is a csv file containing a https://github.com/picons/picons
url.  I don't know how the mapping occurs.  There are no icons stored
on services.mythtv.org that I've seen.
