If I'm not going with a generic name, then I'm quite happy to stick with "PVR" being the core part of the name since that is the primary feature. I'm not trying to the best Media Center out there. I just want the app to be a good personal video recoder, with some basic music/photo features.

Only saying that because with release of NPVR this is really a DVR solution not a PVR solution. And PVR seems old, DVR seems new? Understand that this is not a Media Centre, though I think in the months to come it will be :-)

DVR vs PVR are about the same from a name perspective. I'm a lot more use to using 'PVR' after typing it for 7 years, so probably wouldnt bother switching to a name with DVR.

Again your call. Should 7 years of typing PVR restrict you? It is only one letter. If you are honestly loking for re-branding you're still (IMHO) still looking inside the box :-) Steeb

An Aussie guy call Aaron White has the SUBSTATION.TV domain registered, but it's unused.
http://whois.domaintools.com/substation.tv I wonder...would it be worth emailing him and asking if he'd release the name, for our good not-for-profit cause?

I'm still reading everything posted though, so still a chance someone will post something cool. It doesnt have to have PVR or DVR or MC or anything specific.

DVR is too generic. Every cable company here offers a DVR. NGBR or NPVR are unique.

I wouldn't post this here, I may be inclined to post this here: http://forums.gbpvr.com//forumdisplay.ph...VR-Support But what do you mean by hobble? NPVR though still in beta is still much more so. Offer your set-up and I think you will find alot of help. |
