Thank you - I was wavering between the two possible approaches and your
second e-mail decided me on trying yours.  Your instructions were easy
to follow and everything just worked.

The only addition I can think of is that between the step of scanning
the channels using mythtvsetup and running mythfilldatabase you need to
start the back end up again.

One oddity though.  As indicated, I downloaded the icons as well and
installed them under:

/usr/share/mythtv/icons/tv

which is where the sql seems to want them.  They haven't appeared
anywhere, but since the database was updated, MythBackend keeps logging
a failure to find them, but it's looking for them in:

/mirror/video

which is where the recordings go.  It seems to be ignoring the path in
each channel entry, seizing just the file name and tagging /mirror/video
on the front.  Is this another setting somewhere?

2005-07-27 17:52:17.374 Could not open /mirror/video/itv1.gif

and yet the relevant channel entry contains:

/usr/share/mythtv/icons/tv/itv1.gif

TIA,
John
