Hi Peter,

At your request, I have added an optional ICON field to the channel
configuration file.  You can now have something like:

[6]
NAME=SKYNEWS
CALLSIGN=SKYNEWS
XMLTVID=
URL="
http://d59pscns5ugc8.cloudfront.net/cdhls/skynewsamericas/1013/skynewsamericas_cdhls.m3u8
"
ICON=/home/mythtv/etc/skynews-icon.jpg

Note: It does not install the ICON file itself, all this does is add a
reference to it.  You must manually install the icon image file with the
rest of the channel icons on your system.  You must re-scan the channels to
get the icon file information updated in the mythtv database.

Also note that this has been pushed to MythTV fixes/31, so if you are
building from source you should be able to update and use this now. If you
are using a package, you will have to wait for your package manager to pull
this change and make a new package available.

John
