Roku and Sling Box
If you get a Roku box for each TV at the lake there are a plethora of free internet channels that you will be able to access. You will also in many cases be able to access many of the premium channels that you pay for at home. It's simply a matter of downloading the channel on the Roku and then registering it thru your local home cable TV provider. Go to Roku.com and look at the available channel line up. Ton's of free stuff that is worthwhile plus some pay stuff that I don't bother with at the lake.
If you buy a Sling box and connect it to your cable box at home you will be able to stream any channel that you get at home thru the Sling box and watch it on any internet connected device. At the lake you could stream the Slingbox content thru your Roku box, just download the free Slingbox app onto your Roku account.
BTW I successfully streamed thru Roku at the lake when I only had DSL service thru Fairpoint. I now have a 15 meg line thru Metrocast and I operate 2-3 Roku's at the same time with no issue in most cases.
Good luck
