As DirectTV appears to be the majority of DVR distribution today and a viable future competitor, look to balance out the risk of being too reliant on them with retailing relationships driven by bundling of lifestyle and line-of-interest channel content. For example there could be the sports bundle that includes ESPN HD for free for a year. This would serve to lock out competitors and also grow the advertising model base necessary for the company's pursuit of profitable cash flow.

Third, TiVo could revolutionize the entire industry and make their services plans marked by simplicity and ease of understanding. As the case study shows there is a high level of complexity and confusion in services plans; drastically simplifying them would be a major competitive advantage.
