All right, well I did some experimentation and found out that channel icons
that have a 1.25:1 aspect ratio display properly and are not stretched. That
means that a 250x200 image looks fine in the EPG using a widescreen theme on
a 16:9 display and a 16:9 resolution. This strikes me as a bug. Anyone else
agree?
