    Lately I've found myself watching less and less cable and streaming more things on Hulu and Crackle instead. We've had the Xfinity bundle for as long as I can remember (we still have a landline, which doesn't get used much either). I've had some pretty terse exchanges with Comcast employees in the past when I needed help and I'm a little apprehensive of what's in my future if I cancel.

    I'm on board with it; my husband isn't. He likes his sports channels too much. Help me convince him that it is worth the pain and legwork to cancel, even if we can comfortably afford what we have?

I don't know if it will meet with your hubby's approval, but if not, y'all could check into satellite TV, which seems to have a lot of sports programming. AT&T has bought DirecTV, and seems to be pushing their packages more than UVerse right now, and I get tons of mailings from Dish Network that also mention sports.
