 Since I upgraded to 0.25 I have a strange Problem with the Display of EPG
 data and subsequently the recording function.
 With fixes/0.24 it did work and I did only upgrade Mythtv and set the LANG
 to de_CH.utf-8 as Mythfrontend complained.

 In my country we have special, non English, characters like ä ö ü. The
 problem I face now is, that all data grabbed by Mythfilldatabase does not
 display correctly in Mythtv's EPG. Instead of the character ü a ü is
 displayed but only for data fetched with mythfilldatabase, the EPG of
 channels with EIT data from my DVB-S sources is showing ä ö ü etc.
 correctly in the EPG listings on Mythfrontend. This leads to all my
 recoding rules witch records programs with special characters in the Title
 on channels witch are populated by mythfilldatabase to not be recorded.

 I run Mythfrontend Version: fixes/0.25 (v0.25-9-gefada3f)

 For Example:

 The TV Grabber, when redirecting output to file displays the following:
 Züri News
 when Mythfilldatabase uses the same grabber and inserts them into the
 mythconverg database it becomes
 Züri News in the mysql Database and also in the EPG display in Mythtv
 or in hex
 5A C3 83 C2 BC 72 69 20 4E 65 77 73

 Summary:

 Programs grabbed by the EIT interface (for DVB channels) are displayed
 correctly in the mysql Database and in Mythtv and the Recording works.
 Programs grabbed through Mythfilldatabase are NOT displayed correctly in
 mysql Database and in Mythtv and the old rules do not work any more.
