If there is high speed cable within 15 or so miles and there is a shot at line of sight between repeaters to where you are, it is the only thing that has a shot at working pretty well. High speed radios with built in antenna are cheap (around $55 each). They have a range of at least 10 miles and you can use them as repeaters. They key is line of sight between points and having power available.

If so, what is your hardware/software arrangement?

Amazon's Top Gear may have been 4k. Any smart TV that supports 4k can stream it directly (doesn't require another box). The key is high speed Internet, typically cable based. I think they recommend 25 Mbps minimum for 4k.

Who needs 4k when you have a $17 32" Sony Trinitron?

It would require 100 foot tower to get over the thick trees. We looked at using Skynet.
