A system and method for transmitting information between a host computer and one or more subscriber computers via a satellite is provided. One or more live streams of data representing the information are inputted in the host computer. The respective pacing factors are measured from the live data streams. The respective virtual files are created from the live data streams. The virtual files are packet-encoded to generate respective streams of encoded packets. The streams of encoded packets and pacing factors are transmitted to the subscriber computers via satellite.
