Package: me-tv Version: 0.5.33-3 Severity: important I can't get started because some problem with UTF-8 is resulting in a bogus channels file. All messages captured below.
You can't trust the broadcasters to do anything right---they'll cheerfully hand you garbage that is *not* valid UTF-8. If you have an idea where to look, let me know and I'll poke at the source code. I'm near Boston, Massachusetts, USA (ZIP 02148) and have a directional antenna that gets maybe 80% of the local channels over the air.
