UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 860: ordinal not in range(128)

Heho I have the the HDHR Expand and getting the following error from HomeAssistant. The connection to HDHR works even with command line tools. Is there something to fix this?

EDIT: Updated issue

Okay quick and dirty fix: https://github.com/burnnat/hdhr/compare/master...DunklerPhoenix:master

Because of the Channel 1700: 801 occured the decoding error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 860: ordinal not in range(128) To fix this I remove all non-ascii chars in function ascii_str(value)

The second problem is that the regex does not support channelnames with multiple spaces like "1302: 709 Radio SRF 2 Kul" + This one would not be matched. To fix this I changed the "name"-part of the regex like this: r'^(?P<program>\d+): (?P<vchannel>\d+(?:\.\d+)?)(?: (?P<name>\S+))??(?: $(?P<flags>.+)$)?$', https://regex101.com/r/LTXWbz/1 to r'^(?P<program>\d+): (?P<vchannel>\d+(?:\.\d+)?)(?: (?P<name>.+))??(?: $(?P<flags>.+)$)?$', https://regex101.com/r/NSYMIM/1 this will break the flag-support, but I didn't see any flags in any channellist, but multiple channels with () like: "305 | France 3 (Alsac"

So I think it's okay.

Thanks @Crypto90 for the help
