I ran them as mythtv, which is the only other user than root on the box. All my icons are in ~mythtv. I went through all the ways I could find to not mess it up.

I've also tried a few browsers for MythWeb. All but Konqueror, my trusty-for-MythWeb browser for 9 years, return nothing. Konqueror returns (trimmed)

"The specified file or folder <strong>/Guide/GetChannelIcon</strong> does not exist."

Maybe a theme thing? I use MythCenter-wide and the default MythWeb theme/skin. There are no image requests for channel icons in http://tv/mythweb/tv/list, each channel in the html source has

<a href="http://tv/mythweb/tv/channel/1002/1442536200" title="Details for: CFRN (CTV 3); 2">

so maybe there aren't supposed to be icons.
