TV (lack of) reception at the Lake varies greatly with your location. The FCC provides a "calculator" for your specific address:

If they show anything for your location, you can click on the station and get a compass heading, as well as signal strength, etc. Note that they do not take into account things like trees and nearby hills.
If you are only interested in the news, many local stations live-stream their own newscasts. If you subscribe to cable at home, some cable stations permit live streaming over the Internet, once once they have authenticated that you are a subscriber.
You may also want to investigate a "sling box" (not Sling TV). A sling box sits at home and receives your cable TV signal. It then "slings" it to you over the Internet and you can watch it anywhere.
