Replying to New Years Eve Dilema....

Alright, so New Years Eve is the biggest party of the year and this year we have a house to party at on a lake. Tis a pretty nice place....but they don't have cable, basically becasue the cottage is used only a few times over the summer. So we are trying to find a way to watch the ball drop without going thru cable. They have electricty and we could just hook a tv up and hope for a broadcast signal from cbs or nbc but that isn't to likely becuse of the location of the lake. So i reckon the our best bet is web based cable.... i'm thinking we could get a program and set it up thru a lap top, then connect that to a tv. Now i have never run any web based tv program, so can anyone help me find something that would help our situation?
