  • At the end, I asked RSS provider to give me with UTF-8 encoded stream and it is now working. And @John your tutorial is working. Thanks! – Majky Jun 24 '13 at 06:09

In case you're using a WebClient to download the RSS then you can specify the encoding to use when downloading the data. In your case you can specify UTF8.

WebClient client = new Webclient();
client.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
