How to import the logo:
1. The recommended size of the logo is 512X512
2. Need to put a folder named tv-logos in the root directory of the U disk
3. Put icons in the tv-logos folder. The icon format supports png and jpg. The name of the logo must be the same as the name of the channel.
I have found you can name the files with more than just "tv-logos".
I have started mine as :
"tv-logos NZ Extended" and
"tv-logos NZ Freeview".
When you press red for import all the files that start with "tv-logos" show for selection.
Importing a file that has the same icons as another folder does not duplicate up the icons.
I have found that using files with 200 x 200 bits is OK.
Maybe the upper limit is 512 x 512.
Things that are a problem:
1:
I have a satellite channel called "Prime" and a DVB_T channel called "PRIME".
The file system will not allow both as the file system is not case sensitive.
Solution for this, rename one of the channels on the set top box.
I found another solution:
Place one file in one folder and the other in another folder. Load both folders of icons and the Android system keeps both.
Note: If you export both of these files "PRIME.png" and "Prime.png" from the Icon menu (Blue button), the FAT32 system only saves one.
I found another better solution:
I found that I can place one folder inside another and the logo loads from there.
So "tv-logos NZ Freeview" folder now has "tv-logos NZ PRIME" with the capital letter logo for PRIME.png.
2:
XXXX I have another channel called "RACING.COM"
XXXX Again the file system does not allow this.
XXXX This was a result of the way I saved the file from Paint. Two dots are OK.
3:
Again the file system.
I made changes from "7Mate" to "7mate" and then copied and pasted the folder on to my USB.
The file system asked as usual to replace the changes, but did not save the new filename with the changed lower case letter.
4:
Please can the option to choose a channel for a Icon (Pressing the "Menu button while in the Icon menu) use the current channel and or the current list, not the "All Channel" list.
Holding down the down arrow button to scan through the All Channel list crashes the app.
I found a way to make this easy.
Go to the "All" channel list and change a channel name at the start of the "All" list to the one you want.
eg I changed "Hope Channel" to "PRIME"
Then I could change the Icon I had set to "PRIME_.png" to just "PRIME.png" using the menu button function in the icon menu.
Things that would be nice to have:
1:
Could we have a wild card?
If * is the wild card, naming an icon as "BBC*" so any channel that starts with "BBC" uses the icon.
The * can not be used as Windows file system does not allow these characters \ / : * ? " | < >
This would need to be a systems second choice so the a channel named "BBC World News Asia Pacific HD.png" would use the icon named that.
I would like to have a section for these files on the forum
I would suggest these formats for file content:
1: Country set FTA
2: Country set extended
3: Satellite set
4: News channel set
If other countries are like mine then the channel names are different on DVB-T and satellite so two of some are needed.
Also some may have case issues like my Prime and PRIME above.
I suggest a text file included in each folder with any odd things to note.
It is a lot of work setting up these icons so a share forum here would help.

Edited, correction on TVNZ 2 +1
Also added Auzzy as seen from NZ channel icons
Added NZ PRIME.zip folder to load the DVB-T second Prime file as noted above.
31 Dec 2021: Added NZ Transparent and Extended Transparent and Auzzy Transparent.
Load sat lists first and Transparent last to over write any duplicates.
21 March 2022: Updated NZ freeview list with Rush and Eden.
