Abstract: A method includes sending, from a media device, a request for viewership information via a network. The method also includes receiving, at the media device, the viewership information, where the viewership information is determined based on a corresponding portion of multicast routing table data stored at each of a plurality of edge routers, and where each portion includes a corresponding plurality of entries associated with media content. The method further includes receiving, at the media device, a user interface based on the viewership information.

Abstract: A method includes detecting, at a server of a satellite distribution system, a disruption in satellite service to a media device. The method includes generating, at the server, a data stream from multiple content sources in response to the disruption. The method includes sending the data stream from the server to the media device via a terrestrial distribution system.
