My m3u list has over 1000 channels.
On each startup, the EPG Updates. Each update includes searching for channel icons which takes a long time.
Is there a way to skip channel icon search?

I would also like to know how to do this. I've stripped my m3u list down to just USA and UK channels (124), so it takes less time but still almost a minute, during which time live TV can't be used.
I've also noticed kodi tries to reload channel info every time I go to the home screen which is not necessary because the m3u only changes once per day.

You can download channel icons to a local folder, then (IIRC) set pvr.iptvsimple to look in that folder rather than online for icons.

You're right, my bad - it's been a while. Try going to settings > LiveTV > Menu/OSD and setting a folder for channel icons.
Icons need to be named the same as the channel.
