Agreed that the icons the old script pulled horrible-looking 30x30
icons. (My setup came into being before the current system that pulls
them from services.mythtv.org.) However, I'm curious how your icons
compare to the Lyngsat 133x33 ones; the ones I've manually populated
my setup with are excellent. I'd prefer them to not have white
backgrounds but I think that can't be avoided given the varying
background colors they'll be used on top of.
