I don't need any of my televisions to be smart, and with my method all the televisions can also show non-internet material that is on my PC, such as Powerpoint presentations.
#How to skype on tv Pc#
Not as good as HDMI, but absolutely acceptable for normal computer use - sometimes I have meetings in the kitchen and we use the kitchen television as a giant PC monitor. I similarly, but much more cheaply, split the audio signal into four, so that each television has VGA picture and stereo VGA sound.

I use the VGA outputs for vision and feed it into this 4-way splitter from Maplin SVGA Splitter 4 Port | Maplin (and also its 2-port sibling) so that I have five VGA outputs carrying the video, one for the computer monitor and one for each of my four televisions, sometimes down 20m VGA cables. The person I was talking too was also going to take this point back to his management for consideration as well.Ĭlick to expand.I have the low-tech version of your arrangement! My desktop computer is in the parlour.

It’s not uncommon for software vendors to decide not to support an application I suggest to Samsung that they allow the installed user base to continue to use the product they purchased rather than forcing product obsolesce to occur, which Samsung is doing.

the person I was talking too was going to take this point of consideration back to his management.Īs I understand it the Vendor is not removing the application rather it is not supporting it anymore. Hence the TV Video Camera built into the TV is rendered inoperative when they alter the operating system therefore they are rendering my hardware inoperative, which they do not own and I thought consumer legislation prevented this occurring. I called Samsung to find out what there were doing, they are going to remove Skype, but I pointed out to the person that for my TV the UA55F8500AT, that Skype was a large unique selling point for the TV and their SMART platform they developed inbuilt hardware as part of the TV sets and video conferencing is dependent on Skype in such a way that TV hardware/software become one. I have found skype on the Samsung tvs as very reliable, it was great.
