<br></blockquote></div><br>Yes, I actually I made some of my own icons with Inkscape, and other icons I got from Wikipedia that were already PNG files with transparency. If you wanna send me a particular file you are having problems with, I may be able to give you some advice. It could be the file format, or it could be a path issue. On my remote front-end, I made copies of the channel icons locally, and then put them in /home/john/.mythtv/channels/ and also used that path when specifying the icon for the channel. I did all of this because the icons that the script I used to pull the icons automatically looked awful, and I could make much better icons on my own.<br>
