I did all that, entered some special Chars (german 'umlauts' like äöü) in my TV DS labels but the TV page-module still renders them in wrong charset, like it did without setting DBinit and converting the DB to utf8.
The only change I noticed is that TV lost one mapping - why ever that happened.

Any further ideas?
