The embryonic DVR industry is a huge opportunity for TiVo. The market for television related devices is enormous. The demand for DVR's is rapidly growing as first time consumers are becoming more familiar with the products this gives TiVo the opportunity to get new customers without taking market share. TiVo also has the opportunity to mass produce a more basic upgradeable model of their DVR for less cost and eliminating the monthly fee. The more basic model could possibly cause TiVo to lose monthly revenues, until systems are upgraded, but would allow TiVo to lower cost and conserve engineering resources. TiVo also has the opportunity to enter into new partnerships with cable and satellite providers as the demand for DVR's increase and more television providers gain interest. Last, TiVo has the opportunity to conduct its operations on a global scale; America isn't the only country that enjoys watching television.
Cable companies are unhappy with the system and they do not think Nielsen accurately captures the number of people who watch cable TV.
Satellite radio is a technology that provides a radically new way to listen to radio. XM’s service makes use of advanced satellite capabilities and elaborates terrestrial receiver architecture to deliver a wide array of high quality radio programming nationwide. In early 1998, Robert Acker, director of strategic planning at XM, needs to develop a marketing strategy for this new radio service. There are several decisions that need to be made by the company in order to finalize the business plan. At fist XM needs to decide which of two business models to pursue, whether emphasis should be placed on charging customers a monthly subscription fee, or whether to rely more on earning revenue through advertising. In addressing this problem, management must consider the value that XM radio could propose for different consumer segments as compared with existing modes of radio (AM, FM) and in relation to its sole competitor in satellite radio – SIRIUS. Besides choosing a business model there is also a need to explore how best to approach and leverage manufacturer and channel partners, considering high unknown and high-risk technology. The purpose of this report is to analyze possibilities and outline possible recommendation on strategies for XM Radio. The following areas will be examined:
TiVo has had competitors for the first year that it was conceived which has made it difficult to thrive when fighting for market share. The two major competitors were DVR, and ReplayTV. All made their debut in 1999 and the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Replay won the Best of Show award. (Pearce & Robinson, 2013) However years later no one remembers ReplayTV. Whereas TiVo and DVR has gone on to become household names in the market place. However in the early years of this technology TiVo thrive. Using clever marketing slogans such as, “It’s not TiVo unless it’s a TiVo”, “Simple enough you mother could do it, or “Hey if you like us, TiVo us.” Additionally, TiVo engaged in employing celebrities to endorse the TiVo brand. These are all time tested marketing strategies that work to help corporations dominate a market share and drive them to financial success. So why has TiVo dominated the market early but never turned a profit.
