[mythtv-users] Trouble getting channel icons.

[Marc Chamberlin]

Thanks Michael for your help, but I am still not getting the icons for 
the various TV stations! :-(  I used the master_iconmap.xml file that 
the link you gave supplied me with, reset the database as described in 
the bug report and that didn't give me the icons. So I decided to do the 
update as well and still no joy. Both scripts seem to run fine without 
any error reports. Ideas?
