Suggestions for best course of action to convince parents that cutting the cord is going to save them quite a bit of money and they can still watch all their programs?

I’m clearly doing it wrong because they just don’t seem to believe that they won’t be missing out on their regular programs, many of which they can also access on apps they already have. But they would rather keep watching DirecTV for $120 a month. I’m worn out

My grandfather had a wood burning stove as his only source of heat for YEARS. Refused to swap to gas.

One day, we distracted him with some friends and removed his stove literally behind his back. The next day, he was complaining he hadn’t done it 40 years ago.

So maybe just do it when they’re distracted.

Maybe have them make a list of shows that are must haves. You map out how they can watch those shows and what it will cost. That should prove both aspects of your argument.

I think you’re underestimating how resistant to charge old people can be.

Set up the system for them and let it do the talking I guess?

They can have both until they realize they don’t need both.

This is the best option. Put the system in and go over a lot and show them that ALL of their shows they want are available. Then show what it costs. Pay for it yourself as a gift to them. Once they see the bill (if it’s cheaper) and once they see ALL of their shows are available, that should convince them.
