Seems like whenever I add channel icons I have to tweak things in the
database.

This last round of channels I added all came as transparent png's which
made many of the logo's hard to see in my theme so I used ImageMagick to
resize and convert them to .jpg's with a white background, then updated the
database to replace all of the '.png' with '.jpg'.  Sure I could have taken
my system offline and used mythtv-setup to change the icon file names on
the few dozen channels...  but DB access saved me tons of time and allowed
me to make the changes while the system was up and running.

I like the separate database personally.
