CR3 - Ex-cwc (Bromley)
LCR3 - Langley (new version)

I think they're pretty easy to remember, especially when you start talking about CR3+MR1 or CR3+MR2. What will the next Langley upgrade be called, LCR3+MR1? The other advantage is that the 3.x numbering ties in with the software version number reported by the STB, so it should be easier for people to confirm what version they have. Maybe Tristan's skicky post could be modified to include the instructions for viewing your STB software's full version number?
It's unfortunate that, AFAICT, B3.2 will be virtually identical to L3.1, so it might be an idea for ntl: to harmonise the version numbers across both platforms if they are going to have UI and feature parity (apart from channel numbers). For example, they might skip L3.2 and go straight to L3.3 so that L3.3 and B3.3 maintain the same functionality. It might be possible to then drop the L/B prefix altogether.
