Unfortunately your TV Fool report looks very dismal. If you have decent Internet service, maybe you should investigate streaming video instead.
Just a tip: I canceled my DirecTV service in December of last year and went OTA...DirecTV has bombarded me with letters wanting me back. The last one offered free Genie HD DVR upgrade, their Select channel package for $19.99/mo for 1 year, NFL Sunday Ticket, and a $200 gift card with a 2 yr service commitment. They lost 133,000 subscribers in the 2nd quarter this year and the pace is picking up.
Maybe you can use some tough negotiating skills and cut your bill. I would have some comps from your local CATV provider (if any) and Dish Network to use as a negotiating tool. You might have to get tough with the first customer service rep you speak with and tell them you want to cancel...then they switch to a special retention rep who has the power to negotiate a deal with you. I think you could shave $50 off your bill.
