Stream containing Html encoding and special characters issue

My program reads a web page content with by issuing a HttpWebRequest and reading a stream from HttpWebResponse.
I looked at the html content and saw this. 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

So I did this: 

Encoding CorrectEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, CorrectEncoding);
result = readStream.ReadToEnd();

But inside result instead of seing Björn as in the browser I see Bj?rn. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you

Use HttpWebResponse's headers 

response.Headers[HttpResponseHeader.ContentType]

or 

response.Headers[HttpResponseHeader.ContentEncoding]

instead of looking into stream.
