Note, also, that MythWeb uses its own cache of channel icons--meaning it 
may well be using old ones and they wouldn't show anywhere if you 
cleared the MythWeb cache.  If that's the case, they're defined 
improperly in your database or exist in the wrong directory.  By default 
they're put in $HOME/.mythtv/channels of the user who runs mythfrontend 
or mythfilldatabase or whatever you use to find them, and they need to 
be available to the master backend to be usable.
