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
Don’t do it. They’ll blame you for every perceived problem they have (most of which will not actually be problem).
It’s expensive to refuse to learn new things.
At the end of the day if they can afford it and don’t want to change you’ve got to ask yourself if it really matters?
I know it’s silly to pay over the odds for something but it’s up to them really.
They are just being lazy and don’t want to learn something new. Just let them do what they want. They’re adults

If they use the TV box all the time, why do they have those apps?
Exactly. (They use both equally)
They are on a fixed income, and I would rather see them get a nice new mattress for my mom’s back pain, so she’s not in the living room every night sleeping in the recliner.

Alternatively, if they are happy with their pro-grums, familiar with the interface, and not getting gouged worse than the next cable subscriber — consider letting it rest.
From things like being able to punch in a channel number to having the cable company to call for issues, folks in that generation might really prefer paying.
I’m basing this on my years of experience with a now 60-something and now 80-something. YMMV
