Just find a picture you like for a fanart background, then name it 
appropriately and put it in your fanart folder/SG directory.  So, for 
the show titled, "America's Test Kitchen From Cook's Illustrated", 
create a file:

America's_Test_Kitchen_From_Cook's_Illustrated_fanart.jpg

Then find a nice picture for your the show's cover art, name it 
appropriately, and put it in your coverart folder/SG directory.  So, for 
the show titled, "Chuck", create a file:

Chuck_coverart.jpg

Then find a nice picture for your the show's banner, name it 
appropriately, and put it in your banner folder/SG directory.  So, for 
the show titled, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", create a file:

CSI:_Crime_Scene_Investigation_banner.jpg

You can do any or all of these for any show in Watch Recordings.
