Just FYI for anyone still thinking about it. I called yesterday to cancel Directv for real-real because we are moving back to Rochester. Right off the bat the guy offered me Sunday ticket for free. I told him no thanks, we're moving back to our favorite team's broadcast area and won't need it. (And really, with the plethora of options on Netflix and Hulu streaming through Apple TV, I thnk we're going to get by just fine without cable.)
But it seems it's still on the table as an option if you threaten to cancel, so go for it.
