What name do you prefer...

[reven]

i voted g3pvr, just because when referring to it, i would drop "pvr" and call it "g3" and i couldnt really do that with "next" (ppl wouldnt know what i was talking about).

my only reservation is g3 and 3g.

i would rather it be called just "G3", using the g3pvr domain (i doubt you could manage to buy g3.com) or make the new logo focus on G3 and the PVR very small. "G3 PVR" is a little long to say, like "xbmc" just saying letters makes it difficult, a word is better...

just my 2 cents, feel free to ignore them

iopvr, fireiotv, fireiomc, netiopvr, netiotv, netiomc, iomediacenter, iomediacentre, gbvue, ionvr, subnvr

all are available

Let me just mention Media SubStation again

futurePVR, pvrFuture
ok i'll stop, but I think it's a good name.

I think a good brand or product name needs to give the audience the right kinds of associations as well as telling what it is. And I came up with the word "sense". We use our senses when we use npvr/gbpvr. And the tool makes sense of all the media for us.

Unfortunately the domains SenseMedia and MediaSense were taken. I think they were really good. But what about:

SensePvr
or
SenseCenter

They both appear available as domains.

Of the other two available options, g3pvr and nextPVR I would choose none. I think it is wrong to "bake in" versioning into the product name. What happens when we go to the next major version? g4pvr? A new domain, changing all the docs etc? I seriously think this is a bad idea for a name. NextPvr is slightly better. But how long is it going to be the "next". When the next new version comes along, the name looses its justification, or at least the one that one has not upgraded yet ( it will be the prevPVR ).
I think that because nextPVR has that versioning baked in too it should be avoided for that reason.

Comment from Sub needed?

this could go round and round again.... 14 pages for me at last Forum count

Is the choice just NPVR or G3PVR?

GB what's you're thinking?

Just to be clear, this process is nothing to do with the version. Its about rebranding to get rid of the "GBPVR" name, due to possible ownership issues. Whatever name we choose is going to be used from then on. A new version would just get a version number like 2.x, or 3.x, etc, and wont change the name.

One would hope that anyone reading this thread had realised it was beyond version. If not it was because the thread was not read. A simple question GB is it just down to NPVR and G3PVR now?

Unfortunately this thread just helped make the decision harder.

There hasnt really been any other suggestions posted in the thread seemed to be widely popular. I did quite like 'substation', but I really wanted a name I could get the domain name for, and the alternative names like SubstationMC etc just werent as good.

At this stage, I'm tempted to respect the outcome of the poll and just go with g3pvr, or just leave it as nextpvr... ie, clear as mud.

Cross posts again!

Obviously this is your call is it a PVR or Media Centre?

If you could decide this?

Or is it a DVR (by Fatman_do)

This will help to slim it down....
