First of all, thanks Laurent for sponsoring me, I appreciate it. About me-tv: I don't have any strong feelings either way, but it seems like a popular, actively developed application. I did see some conflicts with upstream in AUR comments about a year ago (?), but my experiences so far have been pretty good. Both recent bug reports related to Arch were fixed within reasonable time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/me-tv/+bug/584704 https://bugs.launchpad.net/me-tv/+bug/560615 PKGBUILD updates have been simple version bumps + md5sum updates only.
