What name do you prefer...

[Haggis]

Of the two given, I would go for G3PVR, but only marginally, and actually prefer neither.

I agree with those who say that it is better to move away from the GB and PVR forms. So we need to look for another form. When sub released NPVR, I had a few ideas but nothing concrete, but they were along the following lines.

A few years ago the network analyser Ethereal had to undergo a name change for legal reasons, or whatever, and they came up with the excellent name of Wireshark, which then followed on with the simple but well conceived logo using the outline of a shark fin.

So in this vein, I would suggest something like MuxEagle, obviously mux from multiplex, and eagles have excellent eyesight for good viewing.

Also:
MuxKite (.com avail)
Avkite (.com avail)
MuxMamba (.com avail)
Aveagle (.com avail)

My preference here would be Avkite, a.k.a AudioVideoKite. Its short and snappy, and im sure a good logo could be created.

Should have pointed out that the Kite is also a bird of prey, but the mamba is a snake

When I first encountered GB-PVR, I didn't exactly think GB stood for Great Britain, since that didn't really make sense, but I sure couldn't think of what else it stood for (GigaByte? GopherBalls? considering what's available to watch on TV most of the time "Grotesque Banality" sort of fit). Once I figured it out, any possible letdown was tempered by the fact that I had joined the somewhat exclusive club of "those who know what the GB stands for".

I agree with some of the above comments in as much as I do not think we should try to include the function of the software (PVR,MC) in the name but think of something a little more abstract or "funky" instead. You want to be able to tell people the name of the cool software you are using without feeling like you are having to spell it out for them (G B P V R).

A good example (that I have used before) is Handbrake. It's catchy, easy to say and memorable (so you can google it later). Or Hadoop (for the database geeks).

That being said, my brain isn't wired up like that so instead how about... Substation :-) or mediagizmo or allmymedia

[sub]

I do like Substation. Zero chance of getting that domain name though.

[johnsonx42]

SubjecTV? SubverTV? InfiniteTV?

I've always liked the names "BeyondTV" and "DirecTV", so somethingTV keeps popping into my head.

[steeb]

Blimey this is hard!

All very well voting for none of the above but can see why easier to stick with what we know works!

My vote on a 3rd way was about to go for Substation too but then looked it up

Got to thinking about transport though and then bus's (Bus - Sub backwards )

MyMediaBus

SubjecTV? SubverTV? InfiniteTV?

I've always liked the names "BeyondTV" and "DirecTV", so somethingTV keeps popping into my head.

In that case "NexTV"???

Now this is like a contest. Trying to get away from pvr, media may be too long, I go to AV (audio/video).

I thought AV Bus (from above) but seems to be used elsewhere. AVTorch - looks like it's available. Don't want folks to think antivirus though.

Well one could keep with sub as the prefix and add an appropriate adjoining word. e.g. subtube, subview, subvision, subsee etc.
