 Attached patch fixes special characters for german Pro7Sat1 multiplex
 (DVB-T Berlin).

 The epg is encoded in some western encoding (maybe 8859-9) but is not
 declared. The correct implementation of ISO 6937 decoding in [9357]
 (#1466) breaks the special characters. QString::fromLatin1() used at least
 for the more frequently used characters (ä,ö,ü,ß) to work.

 The patch is not ready to apply since the check for the these special
 transport and the correct encoding is hardcoded into SIParser::HandleEIT.

 I first wanted to extend privateTypes for this check but the privateTypes
 is only NetworkID specific. I can probably use something like
 {{{
 privateTypes.FIXEncoding = TransportID << 4 & encoding
 }}}
 but this is limeted to only one transport per network and to the ISO 8859
 character sets.

 Are the special EITFixUP methods needed for all channels in the Network?
 I'm thinking about extending the privateTypes with the TransportID or
 creating a new struct for handling this.

 Input how this should or can be done is welcome.
