I was a longtime DirecTV user and switch over to TivoHD + antenna about 3 years ago - works great. You can get most of the cable only shows thru Hulu (free) and Netflix - though the shows thru these services is at standard definition, not HD. The only show I pay for is Doctor Who, displayed with AppleTV.
In the short run, I would discuss your dissatisfaction with a DirecTV customer representative. I bet you can get your dish fixed for a lot less than $100 and they'll probably throw in a few months of premium content for your trouble.
