Arg, can't edit...

Those would also sound less "computer techie".

I like the Sub-route! Very late to the game, but really a good suggestion. I like SubPVR as well as SubMediaCenter/SubMC. SubTheater/SubTeatre not so much, not least because of the ambigous spelling.

Of the two options I voted for nextpvr....it provides a break from the GBPVR realm since the underlying codebase is in-fact a next generation. It could support future releases via generation usage i.e. NextPVR Gen-1, NextPVR Gen-2.

That said.....the late bloomer subxxxx route did make me think.

Personally I don't like using the handle in the name...... However.....

GB-MediaCentre sounds like an attractive alternative keeping a implied connection to GBPVR while changing enough to know it is new and improved.

I voted for 'none of the above' (even though that wasn't an option, call it a spoiled ballot paper)

I would be interested to hear the voice of the creator!

Sub does have a certain kudos, in many many many ways.

Is it worth persuing a 3rd way or is it just the choice G3PVR or NPVR?

If it really is just that choice then I will cast a vote.....

cheers Sub for everything that makes my 'PC based Home Entertainment System' rock!

LOL, I see the point now about not being able to edit! I don't mean Sub has a certain Kudos as in GB himself, AKA Sub, we know he has Smile

I mean the abbreviation has many levels that all sound sturdy!

Hmm

This thread pretty much already gave my opinion. The best options I'd heard were sticking with NextPVR, or going with G3PVR. Both have pros and cons, and I couldnt really identify a favourite between these two.

Unfortunately the votes seems pretty evenly split at this stage, with no clear favourite.

It doenst have to be those two. If someone post a suggestion that seems popular, then I'd certainly consider it an option.

If we end up having to do another round of voting with other options, that's something we can do. I want to get the name right.

What does Mrs. Sub like?

Well I for one will keep my spoiled ballot paper where it was for now then! How would you go about a possible 3rd option? Just suggestions on this thread? I really want you to get the name for this right and am sorry for being so provocactive about it. Are you insisting on having PVR as part of it? (Nothing wrong with that just need to know what your thoughts are!)

Cheers

Just post the name here and hope you get a few people saying that name is cool. If other users dont pipe up for it, then it wont be an option.

Of course I never suggested I had another name! I just didn't think the other 2 were quite right. So if anyone is up for a serious stab at a new name then guess the chance is now! Otherwise it will be G3PVR or NPVR and there's nothing wrong with those but if anyone has something more hooky (and no need to use PVR in the name!)
