About Skype

With Skype™ on your TV, you can create and share memories
right from your living room, even when you're apart.
So there's no more huddling 'round the computer or missing an
out-of-shot moment. You can make free Skype-to-Skype voice
and video calls to other Skype-enabled devices.
You can talk to your friends on the big screen and transform
your living room into an experience the entire family can enjoy.

What you need
To make a video call on Skype, you need the separately sold
Philips PTA317 TV camera with a built-in microphone and a
good connection to the Internet.
Before you can start Skype, the TV must have a good quality
connection to the Internet. You can connect your TV either
wireless or wired.
For more information, press the colour key
look up Network, wireless.
Skype account
To use Skype, you need to create a Skype account for yourself
or for your family. You can create a new account for Skype on
your TV but using your computer is more practical.
Skype Credit or Skype Subscriptions
With Skype, for a little cost, you can also call phones or mobile
phones. Using your computer you can buy Skype Credit or take
a Skype subscription at www.skype.com
