A system and method that provides satellite television users with a simple interface in which to choose from a variety of video images representing a different camera angle at a given event. The invention comprises a plurality of cameras positioned at a certain event, such as a sporting event. The video images from the cameras are broadcast to one or more satellites, which downlink the images to a central broadcast center. At the central broadcast center, information relating to the event is bundled with the video images and re-broadcast to a second set of satellites. The information and video images are then downlinked to multiple users situated within the satellite's footprint, to be viewed on their televisions. The user interface includes a remote control device, and a transparent bar, a navigational key display, and a textual description of the current camera angle being viewed all superimposed upon the television screen, thereby allowing the user, via the remote control device, to simply select from a camera angle, navigate to other camera angles, and receive a stream of information about the viewed event.read more
