Hello Alan,

This will be because of a character encoding mis-match. The character set of the feed does not match the $config_charset value in your config.php

The default is utf-8, which is fine for most feeds; but occasionally you will come across an iso-8859-1 encoded feed. The first thing to do is set your site to that character set, so edit your config.php and change $config_charset as follows:

$config_charset = "iso-8859-1";

Cheers,
David.

Thank you David, That all
