TiVo – Key Strategic Issue
1. Expand into internet-based content devices by acquiring Roku.
2. International expansion of current product line.
Alternative Options
• How to maintain market share in an industry that has become increasingly commoditized.
TiVo – Chosen Alternative
• Exit Manufacturing of DVR Set-Top Boxes and Create License Agreements with Set-Top Box Manufacturers
o Focus on core competency of creating intuitive user-interfaces.
o Expand potential customer base to all cable & satellite customers.
o Allows partners to eliminate their R&D and software programming departments.
