Abstract: A virtual system and method is provided for delivery of Video-On-Demand content. The system comprises one or more communications satellites, i.e., domestic and/or international, positioned and adapted for receiving and relaying packet data communications encapsulating a selected video file. A satellite receiver at a first location or remote node acquires and collects the packet data from the one or more satellites and a buffer computer also at the first location, and in proximity to the receiver, re-compiles the packet data into its original video file from beginning to completion. A Video-On-Demand server is positioned at a second location or main node, remote from the first location, for distributing the video file to one or more Internet Protocol Television subscribers over an interactive communications network. The buffer computer at the remote node is linked seamlessly to the Video-On-Demand server at the main node via an Internet-based Virtual Private Network.
