After some more playing around, I found that this is just a listing for what is on the particular channel. If I go to the submenu of live tv, I see epg and when I select that I get the full graphical grid. Is there any way to get channel logos or is the guide just the way it is because it is dvblink?

You have to create icons for the channels and the file name needs to match the channel name from dvblink. Then, in live tv settings, you can set the folder path to the channel icons.
If you're in the UK then send me a pm and I can send you freeview and sky icons for most of the popular channels (popular in my view anyway)

I received a better Winegard antenna today and did another scan. Works great and channels that were a little weak before are better now. Fox still breaks up a little. When I look at the signal meter, it shows 100% signal strength but between 50%-70% signal quality. What is the difference? If I am getting nearly 100% signal strength, shouldn't the signal quality be up there too?
Also, I pressed stop on live TV to get back to my main menu and browse some movies. I went back to live TV and now it tells me that the tuner is in use by another device. Why would it say that? I don't think the setup only allows 1 device to watch 1 channel, that would defeat the purpose of the HDHomerun live. Any tips on what the issue could be? I am running Isengard beta 2 (OpenElec).

You may need to put channel number followed by hyphen at the start of the filename.
Eg "101 - BBC 1"
It should scan the folder and auto assign.

I noticed that my ABC channel guide data is empty. I checked dvblink and all my channels have TV Source-1 for for source.bthe dropdown list is TV Source-1, default, or none. On available source there are 2 choices: TV Source-1 and XMLTV-1. Does TV source pull data over the air and xmltv pull it from some website? Is there a rule should try since some of my channels seem to be not getting guide data?

I have icons at both 256 x 256 and 512 x 512. The bigger they are, the better quality they will be (more noticeable on big screens).
Yes, make the canvas size square and transparent. Save as .png.
