Hi,

I had this problem when I set this up last weekend. The error is caused 
by non-ascii characters being written to the terminal. I worked around 
it by changing the code to assume 'y' for all channels and then edited 
the output file by hand, but that's not very friendly so here's a 
better, but not probably not ideal, solution:

Change the line (no 227) in your file that looks like this:

use = raw_input('Use channel %s (%s)? [y/N]' % (channel[1], channel[0]))

to:

use = raw_input('Use channel %s (%s)? [y/N]' % 
(channel[1].encode('ascii', 'ignore'), channel[0]))

This will fix the problem by not writing any non ascii characters to the 
terminal. This means, from memory, you'll see "Use channel Mori 
Television (maori-tv.feeviewtv.nz)? [y/N]" but the correct values will 
be written to the file.

Hope it works for you.
