I dumped satellite TV because the price was outrageous considering it is mostly commercials.
Anyway, I recommend a Netflix subscription. (I'm not being paid to say this. I'm just a happy customer.) You can get just about any documentaries, TV shows old and new, foreign films, and movies you can think of. There are many plans to choose from, so you can meet your budget. Also a portion of the content can be viewed instantly through the internet, which is included in the subscription. Many devices will also let you feed the netflix into your TV.
WAY more choices in content w/o commercials on your schedule for a lower price. So, I highly recommend.
Of course at some point in the future when Netflix has huge marketshare it will jack up prices and add commercials, but I'll enjoy it while lasts.
Also keep in mind you can usually see local news broadcasts on their station's websites too.
As far as I can see the only competitive advantage cable and satellite have is sports.
