1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,receive a request for a media object, after the media object requested being broadcast in a media stream through a first communications network to one or more wireless communication terminals, rendered at one or more of the wireless communication terminals, and then tagged via no more than one hotkey press made at the one or more of the wireless communication terminals while the media object is being rendered, wherein tagging of the media object and transmitting of the request from the one or more of the wireless communication terminals are triggered by the hotkey press, and the media object is a frame of the media stream, a series of frames of the media stream, or a part of a sound track of the media stream; and
in response to the request, determine to transmit the tagged media object to the one or more wireless communication terminals through a second communications network independent from the media stream.

16. A method comprising:
-
rendering a media stream received through a first communications network at an apparatus; tagging a media object in the media stream and determining to transmit a request for the tagged media object through a second communications network based upon no more than one hotkey press made at the apparatus when the media stream being broadcast and the media object being rendered at the apparatus, wherein the media object is a frame of the media stream, a series of frames of the media stream, or a part of a sound track of the media stream; in response to the request, receiving the requested media object through the second communications network independent from the media stream. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
