[Michael Haan]

So I downloaded master_iconmap.xml and ran the mythfilldatabase
command and got a bunch of:

Error retrieving icon from
'http://tvlistings2.zap2it.com/tms_network_logos/cspan2_30.jpg' to
file '/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/cspan2_30.jpg'

I also get a _mythtv directory with a channels sub-dir containing a
bunch of icon files, and .mythtv directory containing a mysql.txt
file, and an empty channels sub-directory.
