Hi.
I have a problem displaying the norwegian characters ÆØÅ in my TVGuide/EPG, the are replaced with a "?". I got my tvguide/EPG from the RiksTV DVB-T stream. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi,
Did some tests here now & i have ÆØÅ in my radio guide(which is grabbet from dvb-t), can you when grabbing for a channel which shows ?? grab all logs & attach to your post?

It seem like the "æ, ø, å / Æ, Ø, Å" characters in the EPG works fine on unscrambled channels, like the NRK channels. But on scrambled channels like TV2 they are replaced with a "?". Can it be a problem with my Conax CAM (TechniCrypt CXV)?

In the epg log, they are replaced with a "х", when i search in the log with a regular keyboard input "x", it dosent match the "х" in the log...

See second last line for an example, it says:
2008-05-08 15:12:13.015625 [EPG Update thread]: -> 5/15/2008 10:00:00 AM-5/15/2008 2:00:00 PM Jill pх jobb

But i think it should say:
2008-05-08 15:12:13.015625 [EPG Update thread]: -> 5/15/2008 10:00:00 AM-5/15/2008 2:00:00 PM Jill på jobb

What about your scrambled radio channels, like "Radio Norge" or "P4"?

I have done some research with Transedit, and watched the EIT-table (Pid 18)

The channels with working characters in the EPG uses this character table: 0x05 - Latin alphabet No. 5
The channels with not working special characters uses this table: 0x10010 - West European

I have added a hex dump with 500 packages from the EIT table and an XML-file from Transedit

Working channels in the XML-file has this tag: <CharacterTable HValue="0x05" Name="Latin alphabet No. 5" />
Not working channels has this: <CharacterTable HValue="0x10010" Name="West European" />

Here is the ascii codes:
æ - E6
ø - F8
å - E5
Æ - C6
Ø - D8
Å - C5

I have now tested the new file and i dosent work. Now i got "?" in the TvGuide on every channel. (The channels encoded in ISO-8859-9 worked fine before)

So i did some testing on my own, looked at your code with reflector and changed the last line in the DvbTextConverter class from:

PHP Code:

return Encoding.GetEncoding(0xfde9).GetString(bytes); 


To:

PHP Code:

return Encoding.GetEncoding(0x6fb7).GetString(bytes); 


And now the TvGuide works fine for me....

I have no idea why the ISO-8859-1 character table dosent work. According to wikipedia the norwegian spesial characters have the same ascii code in both ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-9
