Sorry for the noise but it appears to be my fault - playing with the time
encoding sections of code having *not* seen the -z switch.

I still get a problem when merging with epgsnoop output (used to get the
Freeview DVB-S channels) in that the tv_cat program from the xmltv package
barfs on the upper/lower case description of the coding standard. This is
the error message from tv_cat:

/tmp/listings-dvbt-11788.xml: this file's encoding UTF-8 differs from
others' utf-8 - aborting

I've fixed it with the following one-liner:
