The channels with the broken accents don't follow the dvb standard. They
don't declare the encoding of the strings which means ISO6937 instead
of the used ISO8859 variant. That's unfortunately a quite common
failure and we can fix it.
I need the the results of following sql query:
SELECT name, transportid, networkid, serviceid FROM channel as c,
dtv_multiplex as d WHERE c.mplexid = d.mplexid AND name IN ("first
broken channel", "second broken channel", ...);
If you see many channels with the same transportid and networkid please
check if all channels with these values have broken accents.
Then open a ticket and attach the info from the query
