Import Channel Logos into Guide

SageTV supports the use of Channel Logos in the LiveTV Guide as seen here.  If you wish to import your own JPEG or GIF logos, put a folder called "ChannelLogos" in your SageTV directory.  Then import any images you want associated with your channel lineup.  The image name must be the same as the call sign listed in the LiveTV Guide for that channel.  This can be done while SageTV is running or shutdown.

Channel logos are available at LyngSat.
