Summary: _eu_epgdata: wrong charset

Initial Comment:
The data is CP1252 encoded, not ISO-8859-1 encoded. To fix this, just replace the two occurences of ISO with the CP counterpart:

Message:
This has nothing to do with output, this is just about giving any XML
processor a charset hint. You process this data into the charset you need
anyway. It's not like you're displaying the XML content anywhere.

Message:
Please don't output Microsoft charsets. If the input is in that charset, we
should convert.
