No cable in this region for us rural folks. Cable rarely, if ever, invests that kind of outlay for such a sparse population. Not worth it to them. Satellite is the way to go, if you can get a sight on the satellite. That depends on the amount of trees. A smart phone with a hot spot is another alternative, but again iffy. If they will bring cable to you then that should work, and if the usage is going to be sparse, then the major consideration should be cost. No use paying high monthly fees for something rarely used.

My deer camp is so far off the grid that clocks don't work. There's a cell phone tower on the mountain top where I'm located, but I'm not sure how to get streaming TV/internet access.

Instead, we go outside, start a fire, talk, drink beer and count the stars. We can't see the stars back home because of all the city lights, but we can upon the mountain. It's better than re-runs.

Maybe there's some 4 G solution for you to try, good luck.
