What name do you prefer...

[ShiningDragon]

Ok, of course the logo isn't offical, finished or anything like this. But i call myself nPVR from 1st day on "neXt PVR". Perhaps it has something to do with my shop, i onced had: "neXt-Com" (Callshop, InternetCafé, PC and Copy Shop). I like the word "neXt" and you're right: This logo suggests "X PVR". I am not sure, if this were good.

To give something a name and makes all people heavy seems to be a hard task for sub. ^.^

Well, my mind took another loop and out came:

PvrCenter
or
PvrCentre

The name associates to both the PVR functionality and the (media) center functionality.
Another name in line with the "hub" naming and with nods to Blue as the default skin is: SkyHub
or what about ShinyPVR? Something to make a logo for...

[ShiningDragon]

Mhm, hub could be problematic because of its many meanings in german: http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de...search=hub

I actually think I like XPVR. Rolls off the tongue well, like 'Excalibur'.

xPVR, X-PVR

In practice any name you come up with will have a translation in some foreign language. One name that would be quite good is MediaHub. But google for it and you will find lots and lots of uses. Domain name taken too. So hub is fairly common and used.

Ok, I'll rest a while after this. But I just came up with another alternative. In line with Sub's goals of this program being about TV viewing and recording first and foremost.

PrimePVR

Of course PPVR makes the 6 year old in me giggle.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

How about iPvr - just kidding.

What about 3gpvr, nxpvr or ngpvr?

Apologises if any of these have already been suggested.

Is this thread dead?

Has Sub decided?

Could perhaps be a bit annoying for anyone trying to document this great new software what the name is:

g3pvr as per poll result?
'NextPVR' or NPVR or npvr or nPVR?

Has it been decided at last?

If not decided my last ditch attempt. (Does not involve Sub's name (sorry) )

Taking everything on board, I still think with beta 'NPVR' we moved from a PVR to a DVR and some say this is less of a media centre (or center) and more of a TV thing, which it probably is before adding all the great plugins etc supplied by the community....

short sweet simple and available I think (did check) (and gives the linux boys a run for their money of you know what I mean )

Has Sub decided?

No, he has put it in the 'too hard basket'.

Those two seem a bit too 'mythtv'
