# 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.
# To fix this you can set the charset VDR assumes when none is specified
# by the broadcaster. Better: Complain at your broadcaster.
#
# Using vdr-1.6 you can fix it this way:
# If you subscribed to premiere (german pay tv) you may want ISO8859-15.
