Could be utf-8 characters. Can you run test_grabbers on the grabber? It
will show you strange characters. If that's not possible you can use
tv_validate_file on the generated file.

If you like you can send me a small file with the error and I can look
what characters there are. (just the day / channel where the error
happens is enough)

If they changed their encoding from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 then the
grabber might need some changes. (I'm not 100% sure where the
conversions happen automatically and where they must be done manually)
