Satellite feeds usually have problems when the weather is bad. Other than that, quality is about the same as a cable feed.

Do you have access to a cable feed? If so, that may be a better option for you. If not, try out a satellite feed. They usually give you a few weeks to drop service without a penalty if the quality doesn't cut it for you, but ask first.

If you're in an area that's far from a telephone company's CO, there's little hope in streaming past SD. And even then you're likely to have problems. What you'd need is a DSLAM in the area to get you decent DSL speeds (a CO feed won't cut it). You might ask if there are any plans to put fiber in your area.
