+Workaround for providers not encoding their EPG data correctly
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+According to "ETSI EN 300 468" the default character set fo 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 setting the environment variable VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE to something
+like ISO-8859-9.
