Hmm. This is a very weak argument. Yes it can do much than tv (what probably 
means only webcam), but it is designed to do TV. Eg. tuner support and 
channel setting and the like only applies to TV.

Besides if the name does not have TV in it then nobody will know what it is 
about.

George did not say that ktv or kdetv are the most popular ones. He said that 
the others are not appropriate (do not have problems).

As I said I think it is very important to have tv in the name.
