 MythTV from svn (9926) doesn't show the swedish characters åäö correctly
 on an lcd-display, I don't know if this is specific for my installation or
 not. LCDProc expects iso8859-1 coding, mythlcdserver was sending something
 else. The character "ä" gets displayed as "Ã ¤". This is the result of
 the "ä" utf8 code  being wrongly converted from iso8859-1 to utf8. The
 following patch corrects the issue on my machine, but I don't know if is
 OK on other machines:
