    Channel logo slice

    anyone want to have a go at one. I tried making channel logos ages ago but had trouble with the palettes. I am sure I had it correct, ie using the existing palettes for each type of image but for some reason could'nt get them to work very well.

    would be cool to have a channel logo slice. not sure how you make the slice tho..

    another good little activity for someone to do. Not me tho, LOL...

    Hi Tim,

    I was looking at that last night on TiVo web.. lets you simply browse to a file on your desktop and upload it to a specific channel on your TiVo.

    I'm keen to have a crack at it, once I've got my TiVo stable

    There are about 4 logos on the OzTivo image that are valid for over here.

    yeah having the logo's is a nice touch eh. You can probably find some more online and maybe from oztivo. here is a link to some also www.satlogo.com

    You'll have to use nzoom and sky to make some tho. I found it really hard to make them look clean tho because alot of images have antialiased edges so trying to make a transparent background for them takes some fiddling.

    can anyone confirm what image editors are known to work well for editing these images. I tried paintshop pro and failed horribly (the image didn't remap properly to the existing pallete). I am told photoshop works a treat.

    I know Jaidev made logos but he had the problem that the colours farked up after a couple of months. weird...

    I started playing with this today.

    Getting a resonable result with Photoshop, as good as can be expected for low resolution/8 bit.

    A freeware app is Irfanview

    Does a sweet job! If you don't have the very expensive Adobe Photoshop.

    I'm slowly making a nice local flava set
