Note, also, that MythWeb uses its own cache of channel icons--meaning it
may well be using old ones and they wouldn't show anywhere if you
cleared the MythWeb cache. If that's the case, they're defined
improperly in your database or exist in the wrong directory. By default
they're put in $HOME/.mythtv/channels of the user who runs mythfrontend
or mythfilldatabase or whatever you use to find them, and they need to
be available to the master backend to be usable.
