IMPORTANT NOTES:
----------------

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. Another problem may occur if
you have mounted your video partition with "iocharset=utf8". In that case
recordings that contain umlauts or other non-seven-bit ASCII characters
may be displayed wrong, or not at all. Please make sure you mount your
video partition with "iocharset=iso8859-1" or whatever single byte character
mode you want.

So it seems that you should turn off UTF-8 ;). You should have in /etc/sysconfig/i18n something like this:

-------------i18n---------------------------------
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="de_DE.UTF-8:de_DE:de"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
----------------------------------------------------

o course not with de_De but that's not the point. You should change it to something like this:

-------------i18n-------------------------------------
LANG="de_DE.iso8859-1"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.iso8859-1"
SUPPORTED="de_DE.iso8859-1:de_DE:de"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
--------------------------------------------------------

Sorry but as you did not give us more information about your system (which language ec) and as I don't have fc I can give you only a example from RH9.

...damm, SvenS was faster using the function.

please turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR
(But the answer in this Tread is only german.)

...fedora is based on RedHat. It should be not very different to change utf-8 to ISO
