Hello OSMC Lovers,
I had the same problem as the thread creator, so no fix is published yet, so I fixed it myself and now I would like to share my solution and would provide the fixed skin. I hope this is fine for the osmc team 
The fix is very simple
Remove this line in the Variables.xml in the 16x9 folder.
This is the line:
<value condition="ListItem.IsEncrypted">pvr/encrypted.png</value>
under <variable name="PVRChannelIcon">
This is it
The ZIP file for the skin is here: Download PATCHED OSMC SKIN by V4n1X
I hope I can help you all, the devs can hopefully implement this patch and publish it to all.
