If you could find a company that could do it, you'd find it cost prohibitive anyway, so there are two strikes against your going that route.

You could likely do it yourself, but it would require a good amount of work as well as some experimentation and creativity. It wouldn't be inexpensive as it might take the equivalent of a year's worth of satellite service fees, perhaps, to break even.

The basic system would be a large, all-channel antenna mounted on top the hill with a good, clear view back towards Portland; a 1000' spool of RG11 plus tool & connectors; at least one, possibly 2 amps; and a provision for power for the amp(s).

Starters

All channel antenna - $150-200
Mount or mast - varies, might have what you need in your garage or local home center.
1000' Direct Burial RG11 - $400-450
CM7777 amp (for example) - About $75 each
Perhaps a solar powered, battery backup power supply for the amp(s) - ???

All this assumes you have access to a hilltop where there's a good quality signal available.
