It looks to me like EPG data are broadcasted in UTF-8,
however Klear treat them like ISO-8859-1, this leads to
wrong display.

Using Klear 0.5.2

    Okay, there are several problems with it:

    1. messages are passed in ascii to xine, this is fixed in
    attached patch klear-0.5.3-xine-unicode.patch

    2. EPG decoder does not care about charset. I added
    videotext charset decoding and ISO-8859-2 decoding using
    iconv (that are two charsets that are used here in Czechia)
    to EPG code in patch klear-0.5.3-epg-nonascii.patch.

    Updated patch version comes from http://www.mipal.org/files/linux/klear/klear-0.6.0-epg.patch. I'm too lazy to work on this without any feedback.
    File Added: klear-0.6.0-epg.patch
