Have you tried this (from the VDR “INSTALL” file)?

Workaround for providers not encoding their DVB SI table strings correctly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to "ETSI EN 300 468" the default character set for SI data is
ISO6937. But unfortunately some broadcasters actually use ISO-8859-9 or
other encodings, but fail to correctly announce that.
Users who want to set the default character set to something different can
do this by using the command line option --chartab with something
like ISO-8859-9.
