Without some idea as to your location, it is very difficult for anyone to give real advice. The fact that you regard your location as "remote" may, or may not, be an indication that the signal in the area is low, because it all depends upon what sort of remote location it is, and where.
Take two possible extremes:
1 If you happened to be somewhere on a remote hilltop, it could be that a high power transmitter is just visible on clear days on another remote hilltop 20 miles away so the signal could still be very strong and may be receivable with fairly simple aerials.
2 If, however, you are in a remote deep valley somewhere and there is a high power transmitter only a mile or two away, but on the other side of the next hill, you could struggle to get anything even with a top grade outdoor aerial.
