NPVR Homepage

[steeb]

Dear all,

how's this? Difficult to imagine I know until all is revealed but we're still tweaking!

Imagine a boiled down version of NPVR on a homepage, there is a separate section for 'features' that can provide more detail, just looking for a kind of bullet points in sentences..... Anything missed? (thanks gEd for initial feedback and a very well constructed blurb!)

cheers

In fact I was going to edit that last post but I just saw I was at 1300 posts could be lucky, could be unlucky! (and for the spammer thread viewers I can't think of a song about 1300, well not in a rush anyway )

think we could lose the end sentence first paragraph as well? (as I noted all this good stuff that is missing can go into the features which is slightly more detailed:

the phrase "You even get..." is pedantic, and smacks of infomercial-speak (informecials are unconcerned with being pedantic).

Ok ok 'tis a work in progress

Sometimes I wonder why I bother doing this doccy stuff, then I realise it is actually fun, particularly when I see your avatar :p

How's this:

Yeah - shopping channel stuff like "... as well", "Also ...", "Not only ...", etc should be avoided.

johnstonx42 actually needs two different avatars - one for when he is being a moderator and another for when he is being a pedant...:p

entirely agree and with johnsonx42, problem is sometimes when you're tapping out this stuff it just slips in I blame it on all that crap TV Mrs Steeb watches

So how is this? Closer? There is an also in there!

[Edit] I think that is a very good précis of NPVR, thank you everyone, unless there is more [EndEdit]

[gEd]

Actually there is more (from me). I think you were right to suggest that we loose the end of the first sentence about multi-tuners. It is going into specifics too early when we are still trying to describe the basics.
