Possibly a spelling mistake somewhere?  Your LC_ variables have
"fr_FR.utf8" but my /etc/locale.gen file says that should be
"fr_FR.UTF-8" (note the hyphen and upper case UTF).  Which is what you
have in your /etc/default/locale file.

I also wonder if having the system local set to French will cause
problems with handing EPG data in German.
