Guess i am just in a posting mood today. 
I was wondering what people refer to their gbpvr boxes as? As in; Do you say "oh ill just record that on the ....."
When i was using mythtv, i just called it myth or mythbox, When i was using Mediaportal, i called it the pvr or MP (em pee). Now that i have switched to GBPVR, i cant figure out how to refer to the thing. GBPVR doesnt exactly roll off of the tongue, and PVR is sorta ... blah. I tried calling it "The HTPC" But that isnt much better, and annoyed my wife, who insists on calling it "the supercomputer" (which is much better than her previous moniker for it "that damn computer in the living room").
At this point i am thinking of giving it a regular name, like Stan or something.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else out there is odd enough to think about stuff like this.
