I have confirmed it at the Pirate Bay blog, and apparently the folks taking over want to involve the media hegemony in order to monetise and at the same time legitamise the Pirate Bay. I, for one, am a bit worried about our new Pirate Bay corporate overlords... What do you think?

I think this is one of those things Ubuntu really needs, although I haven't tried it it looks great from the screen shots and the developer sounds very professional and organised. I personally don't like myth-tv as it is not quite 'shiny' enough! Something like eAROS could be the beginning of some more Linux migration as people move from windows based media centers to linux based ones.
