 Fetching the xml status, eg by

 wget http://mythmaster:6544/Status/xml

 Yields incorrect xml when non-ascii characters are in the relevant program
 descriptions. Here in Australia, channel 10 likes to assert copyright over
 the program information and puts the copyright symbol into its EIT data.

 In  HttpStatus::GetStatusXML() the output uses QDomDocument::stream()
 which defaults to the locale character encoding, whereas the default
 encoding for xml is UTF-8.

 We need to user stream.setCodec("UTF-8") to set the encoding. Preferably
 we also want a
 {{{
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 }}}
 string to specify the xml decoding. In principle another encoding could be
 chosen, but there seems no reason not to use UTF-8.
