Good to hear, the problem was annoying the hell out of me and having 
lived with it for a month or so it was only in the last few days I fixed 
it myself

Ah yes, I forgot the DVB card is show 'in use' unless you stop the backend

How odd.. I cant find any other references to icons anywhere in the 
settings, does the correct entry actually show up in the channel editor? 
Maybe the sql wasn't inserted properly?

I can only really suggest the quick and dirty hack of symlinking the 
icon directory into /mirror/video. Not exactly elegant though :(

Hope someone else can suggest something better
