Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, an antenna structure that includes a dielectric antenna comprising a dielectric feedline having a feed point, and a collar that facilitates aligning a port of a waveguide system to the feed point of the dielectric feedline for facilitating transmission or reception of electromagnetic waves exchanged between the port and the feed point of the dielectric feedline, the electromagnetic waves guided by the dielectric feedline without an electrical return path. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a provider network configured to redirect multimedia content between receiver devices associated with a user. A first multimedia stream representative of the multimedia content is transmitted to a first receiver device associated with the user. In response to detecting a triggering event corresponding to an occurrence of a monitored condition, a second multimedia stream representative of the multimedia content is transcoded and a redirection process is initiated to redirect transmission of the transcoded second media stream. The multimedia content is streamed to a second receiver device associated with the user based on a user-specified redirection rule. Transmitting of the first multimedia stream is halted in response to initiation of transmission of the transcoded second stream and a listing of receiver devices associated with the user is established for redirecting the multimedia content. Other embodiments are disclosed.
