Your product should be user friendly to your entire user base target. If it's a TV for the general public it better have an ON/OFF button Channel up and down, and Volume... If it's a TiVo targetted for the technically savvy then if grandma doesn't know how to use it off the bat then it's okay when the intended target for the TiVo are those who are technically savvy.
If TiVo is for everyone and everyone is not able to use it right off the bat then it is not user friendly enough.

As engineers I believe that it is our job to be logical not only about what you are doing but what you think about the people around you. If you get to the point where you are performing quick and dirty solutions, believe in the fact that not everything has to be done right the first time. If everything was done right the first time there would be no second...
