I know Justin posted a thread, but I wanted to see if anyone from TiVo would respond to this. Will TiVo update its Web site with news from CES like last year?
Tivo has had a press conference the first day of the show for many years and this year they had one scheduled, but now I see it has been removed from the schedule. It looks like they cancelled it. I sent an email to the press contact earlier today asking why, but they haven't replied (yet anyway).megazone said:Like last year, and the year before that, and probably before that, though I don't remember.I would damn well expect them too, most of the point about CES is getting as much free press as you can and getting as many people as possible to read your press releases, etc. TiVo would be silly to be participating in the show and not splashing info on their site.

That, typically, is not a good sign. I deal in media relations, and, generally when a press conference is cancelled, it can only mean that, whatever was going to be announced will not be for one reason or another. And usually it's for a "bad" reason -- a delay or cancellation. Now, if it's just been postponed to another day/time, then OK. Let us know if you hear...Rich Peterson said:Tivo has had a press conference the first day of the show for many years and this year they had one scheduled, but now I see it has been removed from the schedule.

Justin - good point...I guess it depends on what your company does/manufactures. I'm in a service industry (higher ed), so that would make a difference. Here's hoping you're right, and I'm wrongJustin Thyme said:I have been to my share of conferences where my company always had a number of announcements. My experience doesn't match yours. Usually the reason for a delay was coordination with some other partner's announcement, or catching wind of a major major announcement and moving it to a better day when it wouldn't get buried.
I haven't seen any CES announcements from TiVo.tiggermanh said:Well, Tivo did announce the Tivo3 HD.
