I figured something similar to Outernet or other data downloads from satellite. Just saw the features and started this thread hoping to be able to download scientific data from satellites. Not really sure what else "High-speed data download via satellite*" could mean.
Any Scientific DATA Available?

I have not heard of it but maybe someone else has.
Meanwhile the chart shows all to be European satellites:

Everywhere else but in the US
All these tuner cards were really made for the Europeans I think.
That's how they get TV, along with DVB-T. We have Cable and DirecTV.
Man, why is it that everyone else has ALL the LEGIT devices? Even true with astronomy equipment too.
Too complicated for the Average American. They want quick and simple.
The PCI cards and USB tuners are often used for capturing unencrypted satellite IP streams and extracting the data (referring to Internet data, not IP programming). As this is data, not program stream broadcast / distribution and not intended for public reception, I question the legality of this type of interception.
Many providers offer satellite internet via C and KU bands. The customers are usually remote or international and popular with hotels, Internet cafes, yachts and individuals requiring thru-put or increased reliability. While most require a two way satellite modem, some can use a sat tuner card or USB to receive data and call-up via telephone modem.

To receive HF transmissions there are many antennas to choose from. What to use depends on a lot of factors like your budget, location, size of your property, availability of structures to connect them to. A long wire antenna you can make yourself to keep costs minimal, or a dipole, or a vertical. Or you can purchase them pre-made at a reasonable price on line from any ham radio/shortwave radio vendor. Wire antennas require height meaning you have to have a way of getting them up above ground. I prefer verticals since you can mount them on the ground - climbing trees and roofs is not my bag. You might want to check out a distributor like Universal Shortwave, they have antennas for shortwave. You may have to try different antennas to get the best signal.
Just my two cents, am sure others have ideas.
Receiving Outernet on a regular 64 bit x86 linux box and not a Pi:
