This message reflects the fact that a single byte string (ISO-8859 or 
so) is evaluated in an UTF-8 context. The ö marks a multibyte character 
in UTF8 (Unicode characters coded as 8 to 48 bits), as the à (uppercase 
A with tilde) does.
This must be a system-wide setting (UTF-8) confronted to an unconverted 
string coming from DVB.
