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.

"Satellite feeds usually have problems when the weather is bad."
Yes, I'm aware of the occasional thunderstorm interruption. We've been DISH customers for 14 years.
"Do you have access to a cable feed?"
No. We are too rural.
"If you're in an area that's far from a telephone company's CO…"
Therein lies my problem. Ours is "the farthest house from the CO," according to Frontier's GM and he assures me fiber optic cable (for our area) is not going to happen in my/his lifetime. So satellite is my only option, but even then I'm not certain it will provide enough speed for high def movies. The satellite promo promises "up to 10 megs," which leaves them some wiggle room.
Thanks.
