steeb, I'm not sure why you're so worried about it. I've already said I'm in no hurry. Personally I'm still getting something out of thread - every couple of days there is a new post with some useful words of wisdom. I'm also very busy with day job stuff recently, and dont need the distraction of trying to rename the project right now.

Even though I voted for G3PVR I have never had a problem with "NextPVR" (when it is done like this)

I have always had a problem with NPVR for the main names for the forums etc. as it leads users to use NPVR instead of NextPVR but if we basically stuck to calling it NextPVR I wouldn't have a problem with some users shortening it to npvr. Does that sort of make some small amount of sense to anybody as it is rather hard to put into print?

While I think of my a missive response to Sub!

What would you tell friends etc Jaggy?

NextPVR, NPVR? Let 'em google it?

I'll break that down into separate responses, may be easier and save wasting time. I'm not worried. Concerned may be the word. I really don't know what goes on in your head Sub and if it was that simple as NextPVR why even put it to a poll in the first place?

good grief steeb, I think sub is telling you to just let it go for awhile

Definitely "NextPVR" & googling it should bring up the main page once there is one.

Because everything starts off the 'next new thing' but after many years though no fault of its own becomes the 'last old thing'. I suggest you pick one feature, that is the thing that is most important about this release, abbreviate that, and then append pvr.

Great words of wisdom. And there was me thinking this thread was dead. How about it was called 'Last PVR'? Then the Next would never get old. And Last could never get older. In my own clunky way I've been trying to say this all along. But what is important about this new release as opposed to it being 'New' or 'Next'?
