This is in the database now:

mysql> select xmltvid, icon from channel where name = 'AB 4';
+---------+---------------------------------+
| xmltvid | icon                            |
+---------+---------------------------------+
| ab4     | /mnt/big1/myth/channels/ab4.gif |
+---------+---------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Now I run mythfilldatabase with the command above, then:

mysql> select xmltvid, icon from channel where name = 'AB 4';
+---------+--------------------------------+
| xmltvid | icon                           |
+---------+--------------------------------+
| ab4     | /root/.mythtv/channels/ab4.gif |
+---------+--------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

All this took a few seconds and I don't have any front-ends running.
