I checked one of the XML files in Firefox and it reckons it's
ISO-8859-1. If you don't want to change to use the Latin character
set, you could run tv_grab_uk_rt manually to produce the XML files,
then run them through a script to replace the 'Æ' with a ". Finally
run mythfilldatabase to import the data into Myth.
Probably an easier solution out there - have you tried temp changing
to 8859-1 to see if the problem disappears?
