Thanks, I'll change it then. >>> For my stable version 1.4.x I'm using UTF patch from Alexander Riedel. As I >>> remember he has inserted extra field for channel codepage.

The latest version of libsi does use the character encodings specified in the SI data for each string. Unfortunately, though, a certain German pay tv broadcaster doesn't adhere to the standard and sends the data in iso8859, but without marking the strings accordingly. So VDR assumes that they are ISO6937 (which is the default if no encoding is specified) and therefore converts the umlauts to garbage. But that's their fault, not VDR's...
