Abstract: Satellite transmission systems and remove viewing systems are provided. A system includes a satellite antenna, one or more processors communicatively coupled to the satellite antenna, one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. The machine readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to receive a request for selected data content, automatically determine an azimuth and elevation of the satellite antenna to optimize a signal-to-noise ratio to receive a signal comprising the selected data content from a satellite in response to receiving the request for the selected data content, and steer the satellite antenna to the azimuth and elevation such that the satellite antenna receives the signal comprising the selected data content from the satellite after determining the azimuth and elevation.

Abstract: A data tracking system comprises a hub (1) for monitoring data transmissions passing through the hub. The hub (1) includes a store of audiovisual data files (2) and also has access to a number of external stores 3 of data files via respective Internet links (4). Data receivers (5), located within geographical territories (6), can access the hub (1) via respective Internet links (7) so as to request selected data files from one or more of the stores (2, 3). Each receiver (5) accesses the hub (1) in order to request a combination of data files in a desired format and for a selected platform. In response, the hub (1) collects the requested files from the appropriate stores combines them into a single file, together with an identity tag, and transmits the combined file and identity tag in an encrypted version to the receiver (5). Data transmissions are monitored in real time by a monitoring station (8), where information from the identity tag is used for accounting purposes.
