There is only one icon file per channel, though, which is scaled as
needed, so if icons are sometimes transmitted via the Myth protocol--I
don't know if this is actually the case--hopefully they'll some day
always be transmitted that way.

Only mythtv-setup. I don't believe MythWeb ever permitted editing the
filenames, and mythfrontend lost the ability in 0.22.

I've never used the automated channel icon-downloading feature,
manually downloading them from Lyngsat Logo instead. The automated
method uses Lyngsat too, right? If so, does it grab the high-quality
132x99 versions?
