This sounds like UTF-8 which is parsed/shown as if it was ISO-8859-1 or 
something similar..

Is this a new problem?

If definitely sounds like properly encoded UTF-8 characters which are 
shown as if it was another character set...

Any idea when this started happening and what version of MythTV are you 
running (master or -fixes and if -fixes, what version?)

(If it is master then I might have an idea of a possible reason for this...)

Thank you and have a nice day!
