Actually it’s explainable, if bizare

I installed an austrailian grabber as user jam
The grabber installed a cronjob (as user jam) for mythfilldatabase AND it downloads icons

myth uses icons from both ~mythtv/.mythtv/channels AND ~jam/.mythtv/channels. I can’t see rhyme or reason.
Some icons in ~mythtv are NOT used some definitly ARE. Some icons in ~jam ARE used.

eg
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/spree.png

and database says
|   1015 | SpreeTV         | spree.png                            |

but no icon shows

eg
database says
|   1070 | 7 Digital       | seven_e69f30e8baff7fcbab28feb8b9.jpg |

but there is no such icon in ~mythtv (but it shows in both mythweb, mythtv-setup and mythfrontend).
Equally changing an icon in ~mythtv keeping the name the same shows the new picture.

So it is really a case of read the source luke
