Yep, probably is. Initially I thought the folder were for ms stuff, but it seems to be other stuff as well.

And I too have considered the arguments, and lean towards NextPVR as a better name than g3pvr (the one I initially voted for)...

g3pvr just sounds messy to me, almost like it's a dyslexic 3G phone app. NextPVR is much cleaner and easier to remember, and/or google.

Just my 2 cents!

The website said it was @ %PROGRAMFILES%\N DVR\NextPVR.exe

If you redo the poll add substation so that I can vote for it. I still like blue sky but could get behind substation because it makes me think of the clients or "substations".

I would also suggest re-running the poll (with additional choices or not as you see fit). I think a few opinions have changed since the initial vote. For myself my opinion has only gotten stronger in the same direction I first voted (I was slightly in favor of NextPVR over G3PVR, but now I strongly favor NextPVR and distinctly dislike G3PVR), but I see several people posting that they would change their vote.

As you are in no hurry Sub

Would a re-poll be an answer?

If not then it would surely be G3PVR according to the poll results? And how long will this poll keep going just another month? And apart from a few dedicated members how much of this thread is being read anyway now that it has gone over 20 page posts? Big Grin

I would now revote to NextPVR. I originally voted for G3, but now really dislike it. Go figure. Media Substation is also cool.

Sub, I also like SubStation.
you could register mysubstation as a domain.

Azimuth · 2010-10-04, 07:11 AM

additionally sspvr is available for registration if you wanted something short for a domain to go with substation.

Yes, I consider the original poll a descision between two options I did not really like, and it lacked the "I prefer neither of these" option that I would have chosen. So it' s like in the game of statistics. You get the outcome that you read into it...

My suggestion would be a re-poll with some of the options given that you Sub feel is right for you. It is your product, not ours. Surely there are some choices that are more appealing than others and those would qualify. I would not mind if the list got long. And do include the "I prefer neither of these" choice tooo.
And then of course, the final call is yours even if the vote points in another direction.

And I got another suggestion for a name too. If nothing else it good for a laugh. Since you had that earthquake nearby, why not go for EpicenterPVR. The PVR that really shakes your ground! Big Grin

http://www.systemexplorer.net/fileinfo2/...r.exe.html

where it states that nextpvr.exe is a microsoft product. But I can't find much past that... I see one other link that references ms' nextpvr but that is all can anyone confirm a nextpvr.exe in Win 7?

In the original builds, sub had not changed the default Name/Company data for the compiler. Visual Studio uses "Microsoft" as the default.
