Summary: Anyone know how to do this?


I am in a position where the television reception is very bad. There
is even one major network I can't pick up at all. This seems to
caused by the fact that I am directly on the opposite 
some hills and my building from the major television transmitters.
I believe that the repeaters are on my side of the hills. So if I can
illustrate:
                 repeater                                     transmitter
                    |                                              |
                    ^                            ^                 ^
                   / \                        me/ \               / \
	      
This makes me believe that I could get much better reception by
picking up directly off the repeater. Is there some way, I can get
plans or purchase a microwave receiver? Does anyone have any pointers
to where I might be able to find that kind of equipment? Is such a piece
of equipment even practical for home use? I don't really know if all this
is feasible. Thanks in advance for any help on the subject.
