Comment (by mdean):

 You can identify null bytes in your varchar columns with queries such as:
 {{{
 SELECT * FROM channel WHERE callsign LIKE '%\0%';
 }}}
 You should probably check at minimum the following tables/columns:

 channel table:
 * callsign
 * name
 * icon

 program table:
 * title
 * subtitle
 * description
 * category
 * category_type
 * seriesid
 * programid
 * syndicatedepisodenumber

 where the most likely location of the bad data is in channel's callsign or
 name or in program's title, subtitle, or description.
