Guys...guys, I didn't say ALL older customers, I said a LOT of them, which is a fact I see each and every day. I can also state that a lot of younger people have zero interest in ANY type of live TV service be it YTTV, Sling TV, etc. Younger customers want to have an app that loads a lot of episodes they can choose from. Most older customers, due to a lifetime of habit, are satisfied with going through the guide and finding something.
Also, as I stated, you would be surprised at the percent of older customers who don't have or want internet. For many, their phone and the apps on their phone is all they want.

I have tried yttv and Hulu live but prefer dish . My brother and his friends were over last week they both tried streaming only and said it was more than there cable bill plus it was a pain in the ass changing streams they just want to turn on the box and watch they went back to Comcast they are in their early forties . What comes around goes around . I think they are selling harvest gold and avocado green appliances again.

I sold a BUNCH of those things back in the day.
We bought a huge batch of the last Zenith consoles made around 2003...every one the local distributor had. We were the only place in town that had consoles and kept selling them off over the next 3 years.
Both of you delivered and installed? You and who else, The Hulk?
Usually it was me and two of my nephews.
As I have been saying for some months on here, DiSH now primarily sells TV convenience. Both to those unwilling or unable to adopt a different viewing paradigm due to cognitive or tech-literacy issues, as well as those who could readily chase after streaming options but just don't want the hassle. TV is supposed to be their downtime, not basically another job to juggle options
Dish sells nostalgia of tv from the 1900s

The 25" and 27" weren't heavy at all. They had a 32" and 36" highboy with VCR storage under it that WEIGHED A TON! Even the table top 32" and 36" were heavy, all in the front. Those CRTs had a ton of glass. Flatron/Wega would kill your back as well.
I destroyed my psyche when I "disposed" of my 27" Trinitron and my 36" JVC! They were GREAT!
There's a place in NYC that takes SOME old CRTs- for gaming. Not doable for me to do. Recycling. I hope.

The funny thing is, 10 years ago you couldn't give a CRT away (actually had to pay to dispose!), today they are fetching big money! Kids these days...

I remember when, I think it was Sony, came out with a flat screen TUBE TV. I honestly can't remember the screen size. All I remember is it weighed a TON. May have been a 36 inch which at the time was HUGE...had speakers on the side and a ton of inputs on the back. When it failed and I had to throw it in the dumpster, I remember it took everything I had to lift that sucker up and roll it over the top rim of the dumpster. It was WELL over 200 lbs and it seemed like it was something like 232 lbs. My back hurts just thinking about it.
Which one ? The original or the remake?I wouldn't want to interrupt your viewing of Matlock
I believe the Sony was a 32" HDTV, either 1080i or 720p. I believe the casing around the tube was wood the size of 2x4s. I was considering buying one but I didn't have a TV stand that could support that weight and didn't have enough weight lifter friends to help me move it when it needed to be moved.
That was the thing with the CRTs- they got exponentially heavier with increasing diagonal mesurement. I still have a long-disused Toshiba 35" sitting in my living room that just needs a minor repair. Does anyone want it
I had a 60" Sony Projection TV that I swear took up 20% of the room it was in. I sold it on Craigslist to someone who asked if it would fit in her car.... smh
I have a 60 inch Panasonic plasma i use in a spare room it's hooked up to a hopper 3 still has a great picture.

One good thing about a plasma is that on a cold day you can put it on one of those YT fireplace channels and sit in front of it and the heat radiating off the sucker gives it a truly realistic effect.
