Additionally, 70% say their expectations are far greater than their parents' when it comes to better media experiences and mobile broadband access.

As far as newer technologies, a strong majority, 84%, want to get TV programs and movies. About the same number want to able to pause a TV program in one room and resume play in another room in the home. These mighty tech consumer also want to be able to download TV programs from a DVR to mobile players.
