would the guide look better with icons and channel names rather than numbers ? Is it possible to remove numbers , it looks like that would leave enough space for channel names alongside icons ?

wonderful thank you.

Am doing something wrong , The icon shows up only on a focused channel , the unfocused list still contains channel numbers even though I have  control type "channel number label" edited out in mypvr.xml ?

sorted tx , just had to add the above without "button focus" .

overtime i return to the home screen from either pvr or a section other than movies , the movie widgets show behind whatever section i return to ? I have to scroll back up to movies in main menu then back to where i was for movie widgets to disappear.

 it is on 2 lines you need to remove
<label>$INFO[ListItem.ChannelNumberLabel]</label>
and 30 lines down
<label>$INFO[ListItem.ChannelNumberLabel]</label>

this is a re do of epg

[ontap]

So , downloaded "includes.PVR.xml" from link above , over written existing file with new one , I dont get a guide that looks anything like the image you posted

[ontap]

on a fresh kodi , am I wrong in  assuming the new includes.pvr.xml already has the changes you liked in post 16 ?
