Icon caching - this will cache any channel icons or other images (such as
EPG metadata). These will then be served from the local webserver, this
can be useful for multi-client systems and generally to reduce hits on
upstream providers.

<b>Time Update</b>

<dd>Tvheadend has a built-in capability to update the system time.
However, you should bear in mind that DVB time is not highly accurate and is
prone to both jitter and variation between different transponders.</dd>

<dd>Enable system time updates. This will only work if the user
running TVH has rights to update the system clock (normally only root).</dd>
<dt>Enable NTP driver</dt>
<dd>This will create an NTP driver (using shmem interface) that you can feed
into ntpd. This can be run without root priviledges, but generally the
performance is not that great.</dd>

<dd>Only update the system clock (doesn't affect NTP driver) if the delta
between the system clock and DVB time is greater than this. This can help
stop horrible oscillations on the system clock.</dd>
