tar jxvf mythautoicon_v0_2.tar.bz2
cd mythautoicon_v0_2
joe mythautoicon.py  (editing  program file USE CAUTION)

Change the 'icon_dir_mythtv' setting as follows.

icon_dir_mythtv = '/var/lib/mythicons'

there's a section on database, 'password=mythtv' which needs altering to whatever is listed in your mythtv frontend setup > general

./mythautoicon.py

Follow the prompts to match up the channels with logos.

cp -R icons/* /var/lib/mythicons/
sudo chown -R mythtv.mythtv /var/lib/mythicons/*
