Beyond TV Web Guide : Add channel logos to the Web Guide

To add channel logos to your program guide follow these few steps.

Step 1 : Create logos images and give them a suitable name

Logos must be image in GIF format with 72 pixels height and 42 pixels width. The name of the file must be the same as the callsign of your channel.

However Windows file names cannot contains these caracters: \ / : * ? " < > |

So if one of your callsign does have one of these, please just discard them (don't replace them with a space, just delete them).

Step 2 : Put these images in the same folder

The recommended folder to put your logos is : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LM Gestion\Beyond TV Program Guide\logos, but you can use any folder as long as the IUSR_MACHINENAME account has at least read access.

Step 3 : Add a new virtual folder in IIS pointing to the logos folder.

Open IIS administration console, locate the site/folder where the guide is installed, then the "images" folder. Right click on this folder and choose "New -> Virtual Directory".

Follow the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard: give your new folder the name "logos" (without the quotes).

Type (or browse to) the folder path containing your logos.

Give only read access to this folder.

Then you should have your logos in the program grid.
