G3PVR, it means I can get away with saying "GBPVR box" and not totally confusing people! Big Grin

I've been using the name NPVR and have got quite used to it so I'll vote for NextPVR as you have that domain and the abbreviation seems to have been accepted for general use. Also, you (sub) have a concern about the GBPVR code base ownership and G3 is close to GB (especially if you ever see my handwriting) so NPVR is a clearer differentiation.

Mrs ACTCMS only sees the MVPs or the NMT which she just calls 'The TV Box in the [Kitchen|Bedroom|Livingroom]' ...

Although G3PVR does have a certain appeal, some will consider it |3375p34k (which irritates the **** out of me).

Yes, and I believe that G3PVR is a cousin to 3CPO as well.

After all of this, it looks like many are looking for another name. From the above post, I figured GeekBox would be good, but it is already taken....

I still think it is much more than a PVR and the name should reflect that. The trick is to keep away from "media center" while showing that it is a Total Media Center....GBTMC?

soccerdad · 2010-09-19, 05:19 PM

I guess you cant edit poll threads.... Total media center is alreay taken by the way. Maybe it should just be called Comet or Lucy

Of the two options, I prefer nextPvr. The other just sounds too cryptic. Might as well call it 3XP49QRT. Smile

Two new possibilities to consider...

PVR3 - pvr3.com is available and indicates a third generation PVR. It's also easy to type.

SubPVR - subpvr.com is available, and lets the world know "sub" makes this one. Smile

Just a thought...

I never thought to go the "sub" route. SubTheater/SubTheatre or SubMC could be cool. (SubMedia and SubCenter domains are taken.)
