Well, I am incredibly ancient so the last time I lived in England there was only BBC and ITV, and ITV was considered to be a horrible sort of "second string" station. Perhaps it's not anymore.
All the suggested names just sound odd to me. Maybe if we knew what else this mythical device would do besides TV it would make sense. But so far no one is being real specific in what they think the functionality of this thing will be. How would this be better than any other internet connected TV currently being produced. Or even the current Apple TV for that matter. Yes, I know that Apple's design sense would give it a much better UI, but that can't be the extent of it. How did Steve Jobs think he "cracked" the issues swirling around TV content? There are many more fundamentals that need to be answered over the name of the device.
It will be beautiful, thin, elegant, connect to all iOS devices and iCloud seamlessly. It will have a gorgeous interface. And I, for one, will be buying one!
I see the connection with the name, iPanel...with iPod, iPad, iPhone. It works for me. I remember with the intro of the iPad, the name seemed a little awkward at first, but now, no one even gives a second thought.
iPhone 4s, iPad3, 11" MBA, TimeCapsule and now the iPanel...and I'm good to go....or not go!
I refuse to buy any electronic equipment from any Company other than Apple! It's all crap with clunky interfaces, creaky plastic manufactured hardware that's "spray-painted" silver to look like metal! Uggh!
I wish Apple would buy one of the SatTV companies...and for that matter, Sprint and really take it to the other TV and Cell companies that are essentially run by vultures and thieves!
And solve, once and for all, the "go to market" problem with TV.

Why do you think ITV is horrible?

They might sell a few of these but I still don't see them getting widespread sales unless they sell the equivalent plugin box as well.
