Tivus, Inc. (TIVU)

[Family Treasures]

The corporate climate in the larger Fortune 500 companies is extremely conservative in the current business climate and even more tightly controlled in the boutique hotels. Without time proving out the actual revenue generated with a TIVUS install all they have are the hypothetical calculations. This is a tough sell since these are well established companies on the hook to their shareholders and guests.

On another note, maybe someone can ask TIVUS why the initial "prototype" install at the HOST property has an ugly cord plugged into the top of the unit. Just looking at the photos says there is some tweaking needed before they attract more revenue streams. With all of the construction they have done, either relocating an electrical outlet or finding a bracket with greater depth shouldn't be too difficult. I understand that these are technical guys but little details like this matter in big business where image is everything. The current photos do nothing to help Tivus' brand image. Most folks go to great lengths to create the illusion of "wireless" in their homes and would expect the same in a hotel environment. No matter how cool the technical parts are, seeing a giant cord plugged into the top of a "television" does not scream high end technology from a visual stand point. IMHO

For the record, I am TIVUS long with 350k shares that were purchased well before the dilution.
