If by that you mean scale them down then the format they are in makes
that pretty illegible. On some you have the opportunity to make square
icons by many of then are '16:9'ish by design and will always struggle
with, say. 30x30. The full imagesize is 139x99, BTW. I just found that
the values I chose looked good :)

I could probably make a patch for icon size fields read from the
database if you want? They have the same problem inside mythtv, but that
doesn't matter so much.

Having looked at a good many of them I'd agree. These icons are of very
good quality. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to get at the icons
for specific channels as such, though. I guess you could parse your way
through the alphabetic list and show maybe 5 closest matches or
something (Many channels from different regions are called basically the
same).

Probably this should be discussed with the website owners beforehand.
