Hullo, Wonder!

Perhaps you and your husband should talk about this.
You can unplug it and put it in the attic or garage
(etc.) and only take it out when a special sports
event comes on . . . OR (even better) get rid of the
box completely.

If you can work things out, find a hobby to replace
the time spent in front of the TV. I posted a list on
this message board on the section that begins: 'The
Key is to Have a Hobby' you may want to read those
posts and get some ideas.

Good luck! And welcome to the message board!
