The european firmware can be found here:
Version 2.0b080b
[Link: p4c.philips.com]An older european version can be found here (please read the warning message):
Verion 2.0b078
[Link: homepages.ipact.nl]In order to choose the region you need to do the destructive firmware update which goes as follows:
hold down the page and home button as you flip the power switch (at the back) off and on (maybe you need the tab the screen to turn the remote on). A white screen with black letters appears with instructions. Follow these and once the firmware is loaded it will ask you which region you prefer.
