You can find a very good guide about adding logos to your channels in the wiki:

TVChannelLogos - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

I'm feeling a bit stupid at the moment, because I tried that and it doesn't work for me. I'm using the latest release (1.0.0 RC2). Firstly there was no Thumbs\TV\Logos directory in either \Mediaportal or \TVServer directories. So I created on in \MediaPortal. Tried a range of CAPS options on the naming of this directory. Also looked for the \cache directory but don't see one...... I tried logos with PNG extensions and without......The example image I was trying is square and has a very simple name 'ABC1' which matches the 'Name' in MediaPortal Setup -> Television -> TV Channels.

Has something changed for Mediaportal with TV server?
Is the Cache in a different place?
Should I be doing this in the TV Server instead?

:confused:

    Hi Callumgw,

    your issue come down to the fact that you created the dir in the wrong location.
    Also take care that those are alredy in place and so as a general rule, if you don't find a dir look somewhere else but not create it.

    Look here for correct paths: SystemFolders - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

    Thank you for confirming that U&W works for you. I ended up deleting U&W and rescanning for channels. That fixed the issue.

    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal. The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...

    Thanks for your reply. I haven't forgotten about this. I have XMLTV mostly working, but MC2XML used to take care of two things that I have not yet accommodated. These are "New program indication" (for me, that was an asterisk "*" character in the program title) and "automatic time zone conversion". As I understand it, XMLTV is...
