N/ASteps to reproduce
Use ChannelWatch normally ..
Expected behavior
Be able to view correctly TV Channel and Program logos within the "Recent Activity" list on Dashboard Overview, Watch History displays etc
Actual behavior
Logos and Program posters are heavily truncated on the left and right, to the point where they are not really readable. Can we make the display area larger and more landscape in orientation to show more of the graphics please? See enclosed examples:

@stephenjharrington, fixed in v1.6.2. Recent Activity and Watch History now use wider artwork frames that show complete logos and posters. Activity details also keep the full image visible, and rows stay aligned when artwork is missing.
Install it from Settings > Updates without recreating your container. Thanks for the examples.
v1.6.2 release notes

@CoderLuii , thanks for your improvements!
In 1.6.2 the Logos are working fine, much better!
Is it possible that your "pretend" events that are generated by the Diagnostics can be deleted after the tests are complete, rather remain in the Recent Activity and Watch History please?
An alternative would be to label them very clearly as diagnostic tests in the logs, rather than random event names?
When I first saw them I wondered what was going on and whther a "ghost" had gotten into my Channels DVR server ...
:-)
Also, for your test event "Watching Channel Live TV" it is pulling out the wrong logo.
Instead of the ABC Logo it's pulling up the logo for Channel 7, which is 2 channels below it in my list?
Should be this Logo it pulls ...

@stephenjharrington, the diagnostic follow-up is fixed in v1.6.3. New test samples stay out of Recent Activity, Watch History and timelines, and no longer change live monitoring state. Sample notifications and logs carry
[TEST], including custom templates. The samples also use consistent test details and artwork instead of borrowing a real channel's logo.Existing history stays intact, including samples left by older versions.
Install from Settings > Updates without recreating your container. Thanks for pointing this out.
v1.6.3 release notes

@stephenjharrington, here's a before/after example with demo data. In v1.6.3, running a new diagnostic no longer adds a fake activity entry, while the real recording stays in history. Samples left by older versions aren't deleted.
