Like all Samsung smart TV owners, our family was disappointed and angry that the skype facility was removed from our TVs.
What are families now using to video conference with each other? - I suspect they are using tablets and phones rather than their TVs.
We would like to communicate with our grandchildren in the USA using our respective TVs rather than laptops and tablets so has anyone got a simple, easy to use solution.
I would like a service that is ready to go without connecting laptops and wires. A system that can be simply switched on like the skype service that was discontinued.
We are prepared to spend some money to achieve a clear reliable connection that only requires the press of a couple of buttons. I wonder if there is an Android or a NUC box with a compatible camera and using skype or a similar software application. I'm not keen on subscription fees if it can be avoided - there appears to be a large choice available however I suspect that they are mostly designed for commercial use (and clip the ticket in the process).
If there are any Geekzoners out there who are operating such a system as described above I would love the hear about their specs, costs and performance
