The information here might help:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_icons#Universal_Location

Basically, the channel icons should be somewhere like /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/channels where /var/lib/mythtv is the home directory of the user that runs the backend. The icon column shouldn’t then need a path, so in your example above the value for icon would be tvehd.png

*IF* /usr/share/mythtv is the home directory of the user that runs the backend, and the icons are already there, you won’t need to move anything, I expect.

Hope that helps,
Sam
