If the user you are running as does not have write permission on
~/.mythtv/channels then it won't be able to save the icons.  As root do a

chown -R [username]:[usergroup] channels

from the .mythtv folder then try downloading again.  Obviously replace
[username] and [usergroup] with whatever your username and group are.
