That's probably a missing encoding in the eit. look at the bottom of
libmythtv/eithelper.cpp. We can override the encoding with setting the
eitfixup to kForceIso8859_15. The keys of the eitfixup map are
transport id << 32 | original network id << 16 | serviceid
If the service id is 0 the all channels on the transport will match. if
transport and serviceid are 0, all channels with the origianl network
id wil match.

How different are this epg data from standard EIT? Is there a way to
detect if the data is broadcasted (maybe a descriptor in PMT). I fear
there is no manuel and why have to look at the code and try to
implement the epg gathering and parsing along the EIT and ATSC epg
bits.
The the data structures for the table and descriptors should be in a new
file in libmythtv/mpeg/, you will need to add listining and detection
of the eit to libmythtv/mpeg/mpeg|dvbstreamdata.cpp depending on used
SI standard of those channels. You probably have to add another
callback for the mpeglisteners.
In libmythtv/eithelper.cpp should the transmitted data be parsed into
the eit.cpp object which is the proxy for the database.
HTH, if you have more questions, feel free to ask
