Looking at: <whereverYourMythwebIs>/modules/tv/classes/Channel.php
near line 118, I'm wondering if you're getting a local version of
the icons on your remote FEs. E.g. a cached icon. If I do this:

     ls -l {~mythtv,~}/.mythtv/channels

nothing is returned on a remote FE, because the icons are all in
one place on the BE now.

If you use Firefox on your FE/BE and then again on a remote FE
with the following:

   <localhost|IP>:6544/Guide/GetChannelIcon?ChanId=<someChannelId>

are they also different sizes? (taking mythweb out of the picture)

Since it's working on your backend, you must already know about this:

     https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_icons#Universal_Location

but I put it here anyway.
