TIVO PR
Why is it hard for TiVo to do PR?
Doing PR for TiVo is extremely difficult as the case illustrates. At the most fundamental level the benefits of the system are not easily defined through common allegories, as there are no comparable products or services available (during the period of the TiVo launch and case study timeframes). Compounding these challenges is the lack of feature richness and lack of user ergonomics and support for customizing workflows to meet the unique needs of customers.
