If I might say so - I think tying it so obviously to one country risks making it appear too parochial and unsuited to people all over the globe....

Having looked through this thread so many times
 Important to get the name right but not forsaking Sub's sanity! Looks like G3PVR is going to be the winner, but for reasons of not using NPVR or, in fact, the PVR extension at all, as some comments hint at it being more than a PVR (which appears mainly to be now locked in Techie terms to SA (Stand Alone) devices/boxes.) Everything hints at this being a Media Centre. Picking up on the Blue thing, then thinking about Hairy's use of Latin, (thinking about usage of new beginnings, phoenix from flames etc) gave 'New Dawn' which doesn't always translate well 'Eos' I think in Greek. But never worked well so didn't post that one (SubEos????) Blue Sky came about from Sub's clouded statement. Blue is nice and always the colour of the default skin. New Dawn, new beginnings, GB-PVR, NPVR, G3PVR something very unusual like a ...... Blue Moon? No Sub or GB in that but then there isn't in G3PVR or G3VR. Blue Moon Media Centre bluemoonmc.com much longer than Sub would like and if it comes down to it my vote will be with G3PVR Just had to push that one out before my 'short-weekend break' Steeb

There sure are some bizarre name suggestions being made around here! PVR needs to be in the name IMHO; that's how I found GBPVR - I was looking for a PVR. With all its plugins, GBPVR was approaching a media centre, but to be honest, in it's current form, NPVR is basically a PVR much more than a full media centre. Windows Media Centre is much more a media centre, but is a crap PVR.
So, I don't think there is any reason to radically change the name. It is what it is and does it very well - a very good PVR with some media-centre like attributes.
