The Portable Program Guide is built with the French users in mind, but since this makes use of xmltv TV listing files, it can actually support programming from whatever countries xmltv supports (this includes North America, Britain, among other nations). Just to let you know, the homebrew developer will make sure that future releases of this ‘brew will be friendlier to non-French users.

This release lacks a readme file, so you may want to head on over to the developer’s thread first before you make any attempts to install this ‘brew. The site is in French, so feel free to use an online translator if you can’t make heads or tails of the language. Download the update from the link below, and enjoy!
