That's for giving me some hard time :p (joking) ...

Confluence image is always OK just because it doesn't use skin.helper script. When PVR addon doesn't provided this thumb, you only get the channel logo. With skin.helper, I at least get in 90% the right thumb.

Sorry, I should have mentioned confluence before. Maybe I should learn about skins myself (For my job I write web based systems with ASP & SQL Server, so computer languages are not totally alien to me)

Is there a way to make it a setting in the skin, to either have ListItem.Icon OR skin.helper, rather than trying to have both together?
If not, would it be possible to create a ListItem version of the pvrguide which I could manually copy into the skin folder?

You're reading my mind ... I already have an option in skin settings (Enable PVR thumbs). I can rename it to what it is intended for as "Force search for PVR thumbs" and use ListItem.Icon as fallback. So if you desactivate it, you will get your ADDON thumb by default. This is a really quick change and it makes sense. Will do that

Oh and forgot to change the Timer Settings Labels (Add Timer) ... will do that too

PS : You should give a try to the skinning engine, I didn't know writing a single line of code a little more than one year and you can build some great things. With your experience, you should get it fast !
