 Hello to everybody:

 I'm using 13559 svn rev, and Kubuntu 7.04. The system is set to use
 Spanish UTF-8 (defacto setting for Ubuntu with Spanish language).
 I've seen some people with problems on being able to get special
 characters on the program guide.
 I've tried applying some of the hints that were given, such as including
 the following in a .cnf file in the mysql config directory:

 [mysqld]
 character-set-server=latin1

 [mysql.server]
 character-set-server=latin1

 [mysqld_safe]
 character-set-server=latin1

 [mysql]
 default-character-set=latin1

 However, I can't get some of the special characters.
 I'm using the Spanish stations' EPG as the input for EIT. I don't know
 what charset the stations use here because I get a very strange thing:

 There are about 5 or 6 stations whose EPG is shown correctly on the
 Program Guide in MythTV, that is all the folowing characters are shown
 right: á Á é É í Í ó Ó ú Ú ñ Ñ
 However, all the other stations' EPGs aren't shown correctly. These are
 problems I found. The first part is what's contained in the mythconverg
 database, and the arrow shows what should be shown:

 DON QUIJOTE (1“ PARTE)  --> DON QUIJOTE (1ª PARTE)

 BÆsico  --> Básico
 FINAL CHAMPIONS: MILN - LIVERPOOL  --> FINAL CHAMPIONS: MILÁN - LIVERPOOL

 ¿QuØ comemos hoy?  --> ¿Qué comemos hoy?

 AL SALIR DE CLASE: 'Jugando con espŦritus'  --> AL SALIR DE CLASE:
 'Jugando con espíritus'
 AQU˝NO HAY QUIÉN VIVA  --> AQUÍ NO HAY QUIÉN VIVA

 AL SALIR DE CLASE: 'Alguien matð a la estrella de la radio'  --> AL SALIR
 DE CLASE: 'Alguien mató a la estrella de la radio'
 CLASIFICACI©N FORMULA 1: 'G.P. MONACO"  -> CLASIFICACIÓN FORMULA 1: 'G.P.
 MONACO"

 Aæos luz  --> Años luz
 CINE-MATRIX: SKY CAPTAIN Y EL MUNDO DEL MA¹ANA  --> CINE-MATRIX: SKY
 CAPTAIN Y EL MUNDO DEL MAÑANA

 A la œltima  --> A la última

 Well, the funny thing is that I have a Siemens Gigaset which uses vdr
 internally and that device can read all those special characters in all
 the stations' EPG, so I suppose there must be something wrong in how
 mythbackend stores the info.

 Finally, I'm attaching a file which contains the whole EIT table contained
 in the mythconverg database, so as to show what errors there are.
 If you guys need any additional info, please tell me.

 Thanks for the effort you are placing in the development of MythTV. It
 really is a terrific app!
