If you are paying for channels in Birmingham (Cable or DirectTV) you can install a Slingbox there and watch any of those channels anywhere you have internet access (including the lake) for free.  I pay comlink for basic internet service at the lake and watch all the channels from Birmingham on my iPhone, iPad, or big screen TV in Hi-Def. 

I need internet access for work anyway and the rest of the family uses it for social media but don't pay a dime for TV channels.  It all streams from Birmingham with no problems...  Last Saturday I watched the Masters on my iPad while working outside on my dock and on Sunday the big screen inside.  For the TV, I have AppleTV which you stream to from your iPhone or iPad using AirPlay.  With AppleTV you can stream Netflix etc too.  AppleTV is about $70 nowadays.

SlingBox is $114 and the iPhone/iPad app is $15 - no monthly fees or anything.  I've been running it about a year now and for sports and local news (from Birmingham) on the weekends, can't beat it!
