摘要： Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a media processing device comprising: a processing system including a processor; and a memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, perform operations comprising: presenting a first media content item including an advertisement for a second media content item, resulting in a presentation; receiving, during the presentation, a recording instruction; responsive to receiving the recording instruction during the advertisement, presenting a query, wherein the query provides a choice of: recording the first media content item or recording the second media content item; and receiving a response to the query, wherein the response includes either a first command to record the first media content item or a second command to record the second media content item. Other embodiments are disclosed.

摘要： In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for providing immersive entertainment experiences by coordinating the actions of connected home devices. For instance, in one example, a metadata file is encoded in a first signal. The metadata file contains data that indicates how to adjust a setting of a connected home device to synchronize a home system with a portion of a media. The first signal is then delivered to a customer device in communication with the connected home device.

摘要： Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processing system and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include obtaining a plurality of live streams at a broadband connection to the processing system; providing an interface to facilitate input via a control device communicating with the processing system; presenting, responsive to a first user input, the live streams simultaneously at a display device; and identifying, responsive to a second user input, a set of favorite streams. The operations can also include presenting a program guide at the display device. The program guide can include a plurality of program guide objects; each of the set of favorite streams can include a separate program guide object that accordingly is selectable, via user input to the program guide, for presentation at the display device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
