Comment:

 This turns out to be a limitation of the UIBarType used to display the
 channel icons in the grid. There size is determined by the theme and is
 the same size regardless of whether you display 5 or 12 channels in the
 grid. It's up to the theme designer to choose how many channels their
 theme will look best at. If you display fewer than this then the icons
 will look too small, display more and the icons will look too large. The
 UIBarType should really be smarter and resize the icons based on how may
 it is set to display.

 I don't think it's worth spending any time on fixing this since the EPG
 will have have to be converted to the new UI sometime in the near future
 anyway and I have no idea if UIBarType will be carried over or not.

 In the mean time you can easily correct this by editing the ui.xml file
 for the theme you are using (themes/blootube-wide/ui.xml). Look for
 {{{<container name="chanbar">" }}} and just below it change the values in
 {{{<iconsize>50,50</iconsize>}}}. 30x30 looked OK to me with 12 channels
 in the grid. If I were you I'd make a copy of the blootube-wide directory
 in the theme directory giving it a new name and make the changes in there
 then select the new theme you created on the appearance settings page.
 That way if you update Myth your changes will preserved.
