Doesn't really ruin the show at all for me and certainly shows like Walking Dead, Homeland etc take far bigger leaps out of reality just seemed like Breaking Bad always nails it with covering every angle and this one seemed a bit weak.

I thought the guy explained that getting satellite TV wouldn't work because the trees blocked reception. I've heard of places like that before.
Also, I don't think he'd want to risk some satellite guy going out to the cabin to hook up a satellite while Walt was there because of the risk that Walt could be ID'd.
Finally, I don't think he wanted Walt to be following the investigation or any news on him in "real time" to avoid potential situations like the one he ran across at the bar.
I had no problem with this at all. It didn't feel all that forced or that big of a leap.
