here's what the EPG should give me a true: légendes, dont la biodiversité est à lui seul un continent vierge à découvrir
tvheadend converts strings to utf8 based on the dvb charset information.
If no charset information is provided by the epg provider, it assumes the standard ISO6937 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_6937). If the provider encodes standard with a different charset (e.g. ISO8859-1), then this behavior happens. It's a fault of the epg provider.
For example:
Your EPG provider sends a ISO8859-1 encoded é (which is 0xE9), but doesn't provide any charset information. So tvheadend assumes ISO6937 as charset and in ISO6937, the byte 0xE9 points to the character Ø.
