Comment (by kenni):

 waisted, please test if the attached patch solves the issue and report
 back. The patch will not clean out existing NULL-chars in the database, so
 you'll need to remove these manually. If the patch works as expected, no
 NULL-chars will get inserted into program table. To ensure a clean test,
 please truncate your program table before running EIT with the patch. I
 don't have access to Yousee DVB-C, so I can't test this myself.
