Why aren’t the FTA or in my case I’ve TV ones used?
As I previously stated -

I don't think the FTA EPG has the service logos.
As I showed with the Gem example, the IceTV icons would be deficient for some services - since the image is identical, how can one tell the difference between the SD and HD services if one didn't have the service name nor LCN showing in the EPG (for example)?
Additionally, the icons/logos/picons are static images stored on the PVR, whereas the IceTV service list is dynamic in nature, and doesn't actually include the image; just a link to it. Each time the IceTV EPG is fetched, each service image would have to be fetched and compared with the existing entry to see if the EPG version should be stored as a file - no way José

That would save having to manually update the picon file if I’ve got the process right.
If you wait for the firmware update that contains the updated picons, then there's no manual effort required.
I'm guessing IanSav will build (or arrange a build of) the 'picons-tv-australia' file and host it on his feed server, as he did recently (04-Jun) so if you use that feed then there may not be a need to wait for the new firmware.
The manual update method is based on someone extracting the ipk file name for the picons update (either from the beta f/w feed or IanSav's feed update) and posting the plugin URL for you (or anyone) to download it and apply it.
Of course, we need to wait for the new picons to be created, prl stated he'd get to it when he returned.
