Wow! Since I am one of those seniors who is obviously a little feeble minded, I was wondering where you came up with this brilliant research? Of course some of us like being talked down to. I just don't happen to be one. I did like the part about the military though. I retired with 34 years of service but you know, we weren't very technically advanced or I would have stayed longer! I just wanted to stand there with my flintlock and shoot people!!
The posters here are not representative of most of the subscribers by the fact they are here. I certainly in no way would mean it to be anything but what I see. And that is most homes with older people (Not those just turning 65, older) do have simple boxes, often not DVR's. They also have lesser packages and watch the same channels over and over again, often news and DIY type shows, and anything on CBS.(

My inlaws have DISH because of me, they just got HD last year but do not want an DVR. The only reason they got HD was because so many channels had the picture cut off.
