before running VDR.
Also, please make sure your environment is NOT set to use UTF-8 or
any other multibyte character representation. Check the value of your
$LANG or $LC_CTYPE environment variable, and if it contains something
like "de_DE.UTF-8", make sure you set it to something like "de_DE.iso8859-1"
or whatever single byte character mode you want. If you run VDR with
UTF-8 enabled, it may crash in case it encounters EPG or channel data
that contains non-7-bit ASCII characters.
