Run mythfilldatabase as the mythtv user...

Nope, but you can download/make/acquire your own channel icons, place 
them in the desired directory and

UPDATE channel
   SET icon = '/usr/share/mythtv/channels/iconname.png'
 WHERE chanid = <chanid>;

or whatever.  If an icon exists, mfdb won't try to download one...
