This may well be a Perl problem, or my machine, but (some) accented characters, when entered into 'Exclude Programmes' field in WebPVR are coming backed well and truly screwed after a Search.

e.g.
Dè a-nis?:
comes back as 
DÃ<this character 32767 times>¨ a-nis?:

and 
Sam Tân:
has
â replaced by à 32767 times

32767 = 2 to power 15 -1, hmmm.

Never could get my head around codepages and UTFs.


Regards.
