This document describes systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for determining media items to insert in a media stream. A first media client can play a primary media stream that is multicast to various media clients including the first media client and other media clients. The first media client identifies a start of a primary programming timeslot in the primary media stream, and in response, obtains and stores a secondary media item. After storing the secondary media item at the first media client, the first media client detects an insertion signal in the primary media stream that indicates a secondary programming timeslot is about to begin in the primary media stream. The first media client can then play the secondary media item in place of the primary media stream during the secondary programming timeslot.

Efficient insertion of media items in media streams

A video delivery system alters information (such as time stamp information) associated with one or more frames of a first compressed video file to allow for accurate rendering of frames within the first compressed video file prior to a transition to a second compressed video file. For example, a time stamp of a particular frame of a compressed video file is altered prior to transmission of the particular frame by a video transmission system such that the altered time stamp indicates a time that has already passed. The particular frame can be decoded by a display system that receives the particular frame so that information included in the particular frame can be used in rendering of subsequently received frames. The display system can bypass display of the particular frame due to the altered time stamp.

Frame accurate splicing

Systems and methods are provided for wireless communication circuitry () that includes (1) a first antenna matching circuit () configured to tune a first antenna () to a first subset of a plurality of frequency bands or a second subset of the frequency bands, and including a first switch () with selectable states corresponding to the first and second subsets; (2) a second antenna matching circuit () configured to tune a second antenna () to a third subset of the frequency bands or a fourth subset of the frequency bands, and including a second switch () with selectable states corresponding to the third and fourth subsets; and (3) a third antenna matching circuit () configured to tune a third antenna () to a fifth subset of the frequency bands. The circuitry is operable with a plurality of service providers associated with the fifth subset and one of the other subsets.

Methods and systems for displaying popular internet searches on a webpage are provided. Popularity data is received which includes a plurality of search terms, and each of the search terms has an associated popularity index. A determination is made as to whether any of the search terms is an approved term by referencing the search terms against a list of approved terms. If any of the search terms is an approved term, then that search term's corresponding entry in the list of approved terms is updated with that search term's associated popularity index. The search terms that are not approved terms define a set of unclassified search terms. The unclassified search terms are classified by updating the list of approved terms to include the unclassified search terms and their associated popularity indices. The most popular search terms in the list of approved search terms is determined based upon the popularity index. A webpage is generated including images associated with each of the most popular search terms.

Systems and methods for generating a web page based on search term popularity data

The invention concerns an antenna assembly () and a method () of operation thereof. In one arrangement, the antenna assembly can include a first antenna element () and a second antenna element (), electrically disconnected from the first antenna element and a switching element () to selectively connect the first antenna element and the second antenna element. In another arrangement, the method can include the steps of sliding () the switching element to a first position to operate the antenna assembly in a first mode of operation and sliding () the switching element to a second position to operate the antenna assembly in a second mode of operation. As an example, in the first mode of operation, the antenna assembly can operate as a one-half wavelength antenna. In the second mode of operation, the antenna assembly can operate as a quarter wavelength antenna.
